Souhan; It Was Time to Pull the Plug on Saunders [PODCAST] The Timberwolves lost 103-98 at New York against the Knicks Sunday night. The loss is the 8th in their last 9 and drops Minnesota to a NBA worst 7-24. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the firing was warranted. Souhan thought the Wolves front office wanted to see how Saunders would do with a healthy Karl-Anthony Towns and D'Angelo Russell as the same time but it seems apparent that the team just wasn't getting better under Saunders. Jim says he doesn't know much about new Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch but he does say Finch appears to have paid his dues to get this opportunity.
