Wittman said he did not feel the need to talk to guard Rashad McCants after benching him Tuesday against Charlotte. McCants committed two fouls in three minutes in the first quarter and was pulled for the rest of the game.
 
"They know," Wittman said when asked before the game if he needed to explain his decision to McCants. "I've been pretty consistent in that. When we play with a purpose and with our mind in it, we're competitive. I've said that all year long. The first eight minutes of that game we weren't."
 
 
 
Wolves veteran Greg Buckner's 31 minutes at Charlotte were his most since early November. He said he was surprised to play and that his lungs were burning.
 
Buckner said he has never doubted his abilities despite playing in just 30 games this season.
 
"Every day in practice, I play hard," he said. "I know I can play this game."
 
 
 
The third-worst record would mean a 15.6 percent chance of winning the No. 1 pick when the lottery is held May 20. The Wolves still have a chance to catch Seattle for the second-worst record in the NBA, which would give them a 19.9 percent chance at the top pick. Miami is on track for the worst record, giving them a 25 percent chance.
 
 
 
Emily Johns/Star Tribune on U.S. Rep. John Kline:
Kline also received $1,000 from former Republican Sen. Rudy Boschwitz this quarter, $500 from the president of "Armor Shield," a Kentucky-based company that manufactures body armor, and $1,000 from Glen Taylor, the owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
 
 
 
Throw in a too-close-to-call MVP race, the Boston Celtics’ record-shattering re-emergence and a flurry of blockbuster trades, and there’s been no shortage of things for fans to talk about.
 
“The races, the Western Conference, you’ve got Boston back being one of the best teams. The Lakers are back up there again with the moves they’ve made. I think it’s been a good year all the way around,” Minnesota Timberwolves coach Randy Wittman said. “The more competition you have, like this year has been, the more interesting it is.”
