The Minnesota Timberwolves have now lost 10 straight games after falling to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night by 23 points, 111-88.
Needing other players to step up with Kevin Love, Luke Ridnour, and Ricky Rubio out with injuries again, the Timberwolves did not receive the help they would need to end their nine-game skid and knock off the playoff bound Pacers. Jose Barea gave his best effort, scoring 14 points and assisting on nine baskets, but he was just 5-for-14 from the floor. Derrick Williams added a double-double off the bench with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
The Pacers were led by David West, who scored a game-high 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
Minnesota will look to end their longest losing streak since last year's franchise worst 18-gamer tomorrow when they host Memphis.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are on a tailspin unlike any other this season and are currently trailing the Indiana Pacers by 34 points at the half on Monday night, just a half away from losing their 10th straight game.
With no Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio or Luke Ridnour, the Timberwolves are having troubles generating any kind of offense. Jose Barea leads the way with seven points and five assists, but he's 2-for-8 shooting. The team is shooting 28-percent.
The Pacers on the other hand are getting equal distribution from their entire starting lineup with four in double figures and the fifth with nine points. Danny Granger leads all scorers with 14 points and Roy Hibbert is a rebound away from a double-double.
