ORLANDO, Fla. Kevin Love Cavaliers Swingman Jersey . -- The
Minnesota Timberwolves are a collection of young talented players who are still
trying to figure out how to maintain big leads once they get them.Orlando,
meanwhile, is just trying to find its way.On Wednesday night, the Timberwolves
may have taken a critical step in their journey, while the Magic are looking
like they have far more questions than answers after Minnesota jumped to a
30-point first-half lead before coming away with a 123-107 victory.Zach LaVine
scored 37 points and Andrew Wiggins added 29 for the Timberwolves (2-5), who
bounced back from a defensive meltdown a night earlier to record their first
road win of the season.There is a small difference between winning and losing,
said Minnesota coach Tom Thibodeau, whose team snapped a three-game losing
streak. You take a hard look at the mental mistakes. The biggest thing is
eliminating all of the ways you beat yourself first.For the Timberwolves that
meant not doing the little things to squander 20-plus point leads as they have
done this season. When the Magic pulled within 11 points in the second half,
Minnesota consistently came up with plays to stretch the lead back to 20. Tyus
Jones came off the bench to come up with a couple of key steals for Minnesota,
which made 13 3-pointers.Thats what you can be, LaVine said. It doesnt matter
whose hitting in a game, we find the man with the hottest hand. We have so many
dynamic players on this team. Once we get it all clicking you get a result like
this tonight.Coach Frank Vogel doesnt seem to have that luxury at this point as
the Magic (3-5) got off to another slow start and found themselves vulnerable on
defense all game. Orlando, which has lost two straight, allowed Minnesota to
shoot nearly 52 percent from the field and 57 percent from 3-point range.Were
working to correct (the letdowns), but we havent figured it out yet, Vogel said.
Its a long NBA season. Blowouts happen when you hit teams that are red hot. You
hope youll do better than we did tonight.Karl-Anthony Towns dominated inside
with 20 points and 11 rebounds while Shabazz Muhammad scored 13 points and
Gorgui Dieng had 12.Nikola Vucevic led the Magic with 24 points and 14 rebounds,
while Elfrid Payton had 18 points and Evan Fournier added
13.TIP-INSTimberwolves: Minnesota had lost eight straight in Orlando ... The
Timberwolves rank fourth in the NBA in 3-point shooting at 38.8 percent entering
Wednesday nights game ...The Timberwolves came into Wednesday night allowing
111.0 points and allowing opponents to shoot nearly 52 percent from the field
during their last three games, all losses.Magic: Vogel got so frustrated with
his starting unit that went to his bench quicker than usual, bringing in D.J.
Augustin, Jeff Green and Bismack Biyomboa for Payton, Vucevic and Serge Ibaka in
the first 4 minutes of the game. ... Orlando was averaging 16.0 second-chance
points per game entering Wednesday night, which ranked them fourth in the NBA.
Last season, the Magic averaged just 12.6 second-chance points.NO KNEE-JERK
DECISIONSThere has been speculation that Vogel may be ready to make a change to
his lineup, inserting Biyombo into the starting unit in place of Vucevic to
improve the interior defense. But Vogel he doesnt feel such a move is necessary
at this point.When it becomes apparent to me and Im not a knee-jerk coach, he
said when asked what will make him know its time to make a change. If its needed
you will see it. I wouldnt expect it anytime soon.SAME FACES, NEW PLACESVogel
and Thibodeau met for years as Central Division foes as coaches of the Indiana
Pacers and Chicago Bulls, respectively.They are both starting over in new places
this season with Thibodeau heading up the Timberwolves and Vogel coaching the
Magic.UP NEXTTimberwolves: Return home after a three-game trip to take on the
Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.Magic: End a two-game home stint against the
Utah Jazz on Friday night. Authentic Dirk Nowitzki Mavericks Jersey .
