Shabazz Napier on losing streak: 'It hurts really bad'

Shabazz Napier didn’t want to talk about his first career triple-double after Saturday’s 113-104 Timberwolves loss to the Thunder at Target Center.

But he did discuss how personally he has taken all the losing the Wolves have done of late, now that their losing streak has extended to nine games. In a poignant postgame interview session, Napier said, “Losing is just one of the hardest things for me to do.”

“It just disrupts everything in my life because basketball is my life,” he added. “It is tough, but we’ve got a great group of guys. Just come into work every day and try to figure it out.
