The Pool Report interview was conducted by K.C. Johnson (NBC Sports Chicago) with Crew Chief Tony Brothers following tonight’s Timberwolves at Bulls Game.     

QUESTION:  What led to the bench technical on the Timberwolves?

BROTHERS: After being instructed to stop complaining, [Kyle] Anderson continued to complain so he was issued an unsportsmanlike technical for continuous complaining.

QUESTION: Is that rare for a bench technical to be assessed that late in the game or does that not impact the call?

BROTHERS:  It has no impact on it whatsoever. Whatever the infraction is, is penalized no matter what time in the game it may be.
