NBA Power Rankings: OKC Thunder and peers jockey for position
team. 86. . 33-40. Previous: 18th. Minnesota Timberwolves. 20
The offense has never been an issue for the Timberwolves, but defense remains their key concern. Since the All-Star break, the Wolves have regressed from 23rd to 29th. Much of this may be tied to not being able to have Robert Covington on the court. Still, one player shouldn’t be the main reason why a team fails to play to a certain standard on one side of the court.
