You could attribute the turnabout and 7-24 record to Kevin Love’s return from a broken hand that sidelined him for the season’s first 18 games or Jefferson’s gradual return toward the player he was before February’s season-ending knee surgery.

Corey Brewer’s offensive emergence in these past seven games hasn’t hurt, either.


Jefferson credits all of it to growing comfort — and trust — in Rambis’ beliefs about how the game should be played.

“I don’t think we have no choice but to trust in the offense because Coach for an hour in practice has us just doing dummy ‘O,'” Jefferson said. “It’s hard to run our offense in practice because we all know what we’re going to run. In games, it becomes a lot easier if we’re doing the right things. Sometimes, being a young team, we stop trusting it.

Asked if he can help out his former coach Kurt Rambis and get Ricky Rubio to play in the NBA:

“I think he will come, he is still going to play this year and next year in Spain. So he will come after that I think. I think he wants to play in the NBA; he wants to succeed at this level and prove himself. He is very ambitious; he is a guy with a very unique talent to play this game. So I think he will definitely make a difference when he actually gets to play in Minnesota, so that will be a good thing. I think Kurt will be fine; they have a nice group of players there. They gave us a lot of problems the last game they were here and they are going to improve.”
