Timberwolves 120, Wizards 106
Q. Brian Keefe said he was looking for a better response after last night and said he felt like he got that from you guys today, but he also said in his experience, sometimes you can't really explain the off nights, it's just sort of human nature. What do you think was different tonight compared to last night?
KYLE KUZMA: Yeah, like I just told Josh, I think the biggest thing is just our sense of urgency, our AG. We just didn't have a sense of urgency. Every year teams lose by 20, but when you're losing games by 30, almost 40, then you've got an issue, and a lot of that is a lot of different things, and for us it was a lack of energy, a lack of playing team basketball. Today we shared the ball. We got a lot of stops, kept it close, made it a ballgame, and it's a game of runs. They had a couple threes, we had turnovers, three threes, lay-up, now we're down 10. That'll bite you.
Q. What did you think about the way Alex played against Gobert?
KYLE KUZMA: I don't know really. A lot of times they actually switched the rotation around. A lot of times J.B. played against Gobert. I'd have to go back and watch the film to let you know.
Q. How healthy do you feel now?
KYLE KUZMA: Today I felt really healthy. Obviously I've been on a minute restriction all year. The past two games have been my first games really not being on a restriction. Just blessed to have that. What game was that, the Houston game? Finally recovered. Dillon Brooks kicked me in my calf; I had a rough calf contusion but played through it for a couple games. That's all pretty much gone now. I felt really nimble, felt really good today. I'm just happy to be able to be healthy.
