    After first segment of the season, the Timberwolves must regroup 

    Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch likes to chop 82-game NBA seasons into 20-game segments. (Presumably the extra game or two can be pushed into the garbage disposal, set on a pedestal or otherwise wielded to strengthen a prevailing narrative.)
