Cavs lose 131-122 to Timberwolves due to odd starting lineup choice

Their ineffectiveness led to the 131-122 loss. Minnesota has one of the biggest starting forward groups in the league with Rudy Gobert (7’1”), Julius Randle (6’9”), and Jaden McDaniels […]

Two Teams Request Interview with Top Vikings Defensive Assistant

There’s losing, and there’s getting humiliated. If you were to categorize the Miami Heat’s 122-94 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, it’s much closer to the latter than it was the former. This comes on the heels of losing to the Timberwolves inside Kaseya Center, 125-115, four days prior. While Heat head coach Erik […] The post Erik Spoelstra says Heat showed less ‘spirit’ in loss to Timberwolves appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
