  • Mike Conley is leading the Timberwolves back to the defensive identity they need

    5 days ago | nytimes.com | Jon Krawczynski

    MINNEAPOLIS - Mike Conley is not a profane man by nature. His reputation for being the nice guy is so deeply ingrained and so widely known that he has built his brand around the slogan " Good Guys Finish First," including a tongue-in-cheek social media series that trumpets his record four NBA Sportsmanship awards and the fact that he has never been assessed a technical foul in his 18 seasons in the league. Don't mistake his kindness for weakness.

  • Rudy Gobert's role, Ant's intelligence and more takeaways from the Wolves' triumph

    The visitors' locker room at the Los Angeles Lakers' arena is notoriously cramped. There is barely enough room for the team to move around in there, let alone when dozens of media members cram in for postgame interviews. To make things easier on everyone, the Minnesota Timberwolves brought the most sought-after players to an interview room across the hall.
