Rebuilt Timberwolves struggling with needed communication

MIAMI — There are times when the Wolves don't hold a day of game shootaround at the arena, and instead will go through their game plan for that night in a hotel conference room.

Coach Ryan Saunders wants his group to be as loud as they possibly can in those confines, even at the risk of making too much noise in such a quiet setting.

"They've got to be loud, and it's uncomfortable," Saunders said. "But that's our biggest thing we have to improve upon at the moment."

That would be communication, and Saunders said the lack of it showed up in a 139-123 loss to the Mavericks.
