Unselfish play is working for Wolves, but there's room to improve there

PHILADELPHIA – Before the season began, the Timberwolves talked a lot about their need to sacrifice.

Guard D'Angelo Russell said the Wolves needed to adopt that mentality coming into the year.

Rudy Gobert said the Wolves "won't have a choice," but to set aside some of their personal goals and statistics to win.

The Wolves sit at 8-8 through their first 16 games after winning three in a row. Sacrificing to win sounds easy enough, but just how good have the Wolves been at practicing it? There is room for improvement.

"We could give a little more of ourselves to each other, 100%," forward Taurean Prince said after Saturday's victory at Philadelphia.
