Randy Wittman has admitted that the Washington Wizards were "lethargic" at the start of their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves last night.

Kevin Love scored 16 points in the first quarter to help Minnesota to an early lead before the home side fought back.

The head coach told reporters: "I thought he was going for 70 in the first eight minutes. I thought when we came out to start the game, it was again lethargic. We weren't dictating things defensively. We got upset at halftime and turned it on."

The Wizards travel to the Cleveland Cavaliers later today.
