Whatever you want to call it, the Timberwolves' performance against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday fell far short of the level of basketball the Wolves had played in recent weeks.
Toronto brought out the worst in the Wolves, who lost 105-82 at Target Center two days after a loss at the buzzer to the Kevin Garnett-less Boston Celtics.
Coach Randy Wittman said he hopes it was a hangover after the emotional game against Boston and not an indication of something more serious.
"That's not what this team has been about," Wittman said of Sunday's game. "This was as selfish a game as we've played. We were worrying about what we were getting at the offensive end and had no concentration defensively."
