Wolves' Taylor Expects More Wins This Season

Minnesota owner Glen Taylor expects the team to win more games this season, according to Pioneer Press.

"Last year, when we put this group together, it was a year to build, to get experience," Taylor said of the team. "This year is different; just because last year we let a guy play a lot of minutes, if he doesn't produce this year, he won't play a lot of minutes. It will be more on productivity than youth. It'll be winning rather than getting experience."
