Jimmy Butler wants Wolves teammates to match his energy on defense
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler says he prides himself on the defensive end, and he wants his teammates to do the same.

Minnesota is coming off a much-needed overtime win over the Miami Heat on Monday, and they have another tough task Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
