Kevin Love: 'Minnesota Timberwolves must push for playoffs'

By , Reporter
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love believe that the team need a "nice push" to bring them back into the NBA playoff race.

Kevin Love has said that the Minnesota Timberwolves will need a "nice push" in order to make the NBA playoffs this season.

The team sits third in the Northwest Division and 10th in their conference, six wins off the playoff places.

The power forward told NBA.com: "There's still a chance for a nice push. We just have to go out there and we have to take it. Hopefully that will be the case. We just need to be together. Hopefully that will push us over the top."

Coach Rick Adelman added: "We know where we stand. That's just something we'll have to see. I think these people have certainly proven they can go out and win."

The Timberwolves' next game is against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, after the All-Star break.
