Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said Monday he is confident his team can pull out of its seven-game losing slump and that coach Flip Saunders' position is safe.

"Certainly, his job is not in trouble,'' Taylor said of Saunders, who has four years and $20 million remaining on his contract after this season. "He wants to win ? and he's trying very, very hard to figure out what adjustments need to be made to get this team winning again.

"He's concerned. I would be concerned if he wasn't concerned.''
