The 2013-14 Minnesota Timberwolves finished the NBA season with a 40-42 record, missing the playoffs for the tenth consecutive year. Under head coach Rick Adelman, the team showed potential but struggled with consistency. Kevin Love led the roster, averaging 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds per game, earning him a spot as an NBA All-Star starter. Despite Love’s impressive performance, the Timberwolves couldn’t capitalize on their talent.
Point guard Ricky Rubio contributed with 8.6 assists and 2.3 steals per game, while Kevin Martin added scoring support, averaging 19.1 points. The team ranked high offensively, scoring 106.9 points per game (3rd in the league), but their defense lagged, allowing 104.3 points per contest. Injuries also played a role in their performance, with Nikola Peković and others missing significant time. The season marked the end of Adelman’s coaching tenure, as he retired afterward, signaling a period of transition for the franchise.
