Timberwolves' playoff hopes are fading, but they say there's reason for optimism

NEW ORLEANS – Even after another close Timberwolves road loss Friday, Taj Gibson was still able to crack a small smile. It came as he was breaking out a few colorful phrases to describe where the Timberwolves are at after another winless road trip.

"Right now the bandwagon is empty, but I like it," Gibson said. "Just got to stay with the same routine, putting your work in, stay locked in and be ready, wait for the cavalry to come. I'm hoping the cavalry does come."

The cavalry better hurry, because the Wolves are losing ground quickly.
