Timberwolves' Jeff Teague: 'I think we have guys who are capable of playing and contributing to this team.'

After he played 42 minutes in Monday's stinker of a loss, Timberwolves veteran Jeff Teague said at today's morning shoot that fatigue could have been a factor -- but not an excuse -- for that hideous loss to Memphis.

Fellow starters Taj Gibson and Andrew Wiggins played 43 minutes each on Monday and Karl-Anthony Towns played 39.

In the fourth quarter, the Wolves shot a combined 3-for-17 from the field and were outscored 23-11 by a Grizzlies team that lost a game by 61 points last week and had won once since late January.

"That might be like my third time in my life playing like 40 minutes," Teague said.
