Whether they win or lose, teams tend to move on from games pretty quickly so they can focus on their next opponent. However, "forgetting" about a game isn't the easiest thing for a player to do, especially in the aftermath of victory.

The Minnesota Timberwolves pulled out a 98-91 road win over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. Rookie Andrew Wiggins had his best NBA performance to date with 17 points, and Ricky Rubio notched a double-double (14 points, 12 assists).

It was a good win for a young team, so it's OK for the players to remember this game and relish in the moment.

However, Timberwolves center Nikola Pekovic said in his postgame press conference that he will "forget this win." Rubio was visibly taken aback.

Rubio explained what he was thinking when he heard Pekovic say that.

Sure, try to forget about the losses. Just remember what it took to win and how it felt to earn a victory. Those memories can help lead to success down the road.
