Preseason: Pistons 101, Wolves 96

Click here for an AP recap of the game.

"I think we're getting an identity," coach Dwane Casey said of the reserves. "I think that's something we want out of that group. Troy Hudson is doing a great job of running the show. I think they're getting an identity of coming in and putting points on the board."

KG on the 51 turnovers committed by the Wolves in their last two games:
"Shooting is not our problem. Taking care of the ball [is]."

Coach Casey on advice given to him from George Karl regarding preseason:
"Doug Moe said, 'You want a blowout exhibition game. Then you want a close one. Then you want a losing one real bad -- that way you get the guys' attention,' " Casey said.
"I don't have enough job security for all that."


The Wolves site posted Mike Trudell's log about his trip to Omaha with the team. He managed to get in at least a few shots at Rick Rickert who was playing with the Pistons.

Mad Dog has more to say on the new ball.
