Porter coaches Wolves tonight in Milwaukee

Rick Adelman away from team to attend funeral

December 28, 2011 at 2:19AM

The Wolves play on – and coach on – tonight without Rick Adelman.

Terry Porter will act as head coach while Adelman is away from the team to attend his mother-in-law's funeral.

Porter will start the same lineup as last night's lineup – Luke and Wes Johnson, Love, Darko and Beasley up front – but wouldn't say if the unit that ended last night's game will do so again tonight.

That unit was Ricky Rubio, J.J. Barea, Love, Beasley and Derrick Williams.

Matchups tonight – namely Bucks center Andrew Bogut – would change things.

>We'll see how much Darko plays tonight to counter Bogut after he played almost 20 physical minutes against Kendrick Perkins last night.
