The hottest team in the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves, host the Detroit Pistons Wednesday night at the Target Center.

The Timberwolves have the best record in basketball during the month of January and have won 10 of their last 12 games.

It's quite a turnaround for a team that started the season by winning just four of its first 27 games.

Wolves guru Brit Robson talked with Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer about how they've done it. Robson covers the team for the Rake Online.
