The first time Gersson Rosas’ old team came to town, he wasn’t here.
Rosas, the Timberwolves president of basketball operations, is in Europe doing some scouting. So he wasn’t here to see the Wolves play host to the Houston Rockets.
But you can bet Rosas and Houston coach Mike D’Antoni exchanged texts.
“We text every once in a while,” D’Antoni said before Saturday’s game. “He’s doing a great job.”
And it hasn’t taken too long for the Wolves, with their new emphasis on shooting more threes and fewer midrange jumpers, to look a lot like Rosas’ old team.
