DEFENSIVE THINKING
The Wolves have made big strides this year mostly because of their defense. Here are some defensive numbers that quantify that improvement:
Year Defensive rating Points against FG% allowed
2010-2011 108.3 (27th) 107.7 (30th) .468 (T22th)
2011-2012 99.2 (14th) 95.6 (T16th) .438 (T12th)
They are even better in fourth quarters this year:

2010-2011 110 (29th) 26.1 (30th) .469 (30th)
2011-2012 96.5 (3rd) 22.6 (10th) .409 (5th)
