Kevin Love expressed frustration with his teammates after the Minnesota Timberwolves' 104-103 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.

Love has put up strong numbers this season, but the Wolves have a 17-18 record.

"We can't have two guys sitting at the end of the bench that play good minutes just sitting there and not getting up during timeouts,'' Love said, referring to the poor body language exhibited by veterans J.J. Barea and Dante Cunningham in the fourth quarter. "We all need to be in this together. That kind of [ticks] me off. We're supposed to be a team.''

Love is trying to take a leadership role to turn around their season.

"It's two guys that we expect more from them,'' Love said. "I think they expect more from themselves. I'm not trying to single anybody out and I don't want to make it bigger than it is, but it's just a team that we needed to beat tonight and we needed everybody in there, even guys that didn't play any minutes. We need to have a team and a bench that's really in it together.''
