Well, that was ugly, wasn't it?

Greetings from Target Center for a final time tonight, following an 85-77 loss to the previously winless 76ers in a game Philadelphia ended on a 12-2 run.

The Wolves set or matched season lows with first quarter points, first half points, total points and shooting percentage. What makes it worse is that Philadelphia played nearly as badly. But, at least, they played hard. Harder than the Wolves, anyway.

Here are some thoughts on the game:

--So who came with the right attitude to play? Mo Williams, for one. He didn't play well, but that's because he had a very sore back. But, according to coach Flip Saunders, he insisted on playing because he didn't want the Wolves to lose to Philadelphia. After that? Gorgui Dieng, perhaps, who had a 15-point, 16-rebound game. After that, I just don't know.

--After the game Saunders pledged to sit players who didn't play hard, or players who continued to make the same mistakes over and over again. It won't be easy, given the team's injury situation. But Saunders sounded like a coach who'd just about had it after this loss. Tonight Anthony Bennett was benched after playing just 3½ minutes. So it has already began.

--Check out these shooting numbers for the Wolves starters: Wiggins 4-for-12, Young 6-for-16, Corey Brewer 3-for-11, Williams 5-for-14. Only Dieng (6-for-12) reached 50 percent.

--Four of the five Wolves starters had four or more turnovers.

--The Wolves had more turnovers (19) than assists (17).

That's about it for now. From the sounds of it, Saunders promised a rather intense practice Thursday. I'll get back to you after it's over with an update. Have a good rest of your evening.
