Flip Saunder criticised how the Wolves "took one step back" as a team. He credits the loss to the fact that the Wolves didnt make the extra pass and play unselfishly. Injury Report - Sprewell who is out with a sore Achilles' tendon had a good practice on Monday. he is questionable to return to the line-up on Friday against the Indiana Pacers. Wally Szczerbiak (plantar fasciitis) and Michael Olowokandi (knee) also did some light work in practice on Monday. Hoiberg left the game last night after getting kicked in the heel durng the third quarter. Troy Hudson left as a percaution after colliding with Jackson.
