Minnesota Timberwolves History
The Timberwolves joined the NBA in the 1989 expansion that also brought the Orlando Magic into the league. The Wolves struggled during their first seven seasons, but the arrivals of first-round draft pick Kevin Garnett, general manager Kevin McHale and head coach Flip Saunders signaled a turnaround. The franchise earned its first playoff berth in the 1996–97 season — the first of eight straight years in the postseason — and its first winning record a year later.
In the 1999–00 season, led by Garnett and rookie Wally Szczerbiak, the Timberwolves posted their first 50-win season, the first of three straight years they reached that milestone. But it was not until the last year in that streak that they advanced past the first round of the playoffs.
With guards Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell joining the Timberwolves for the 2003–04 season, the team won their first division title and first two postseason series, eliminating the Denver Nuggets and the Sacramento Kings. They ultimately fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in the conference finals.
After Garnett was traded away in 2007, the team rebuilt around all-star Kevin Love, but failed to make the playoffs during his tenure in Minnesota. They ended a 13-year drought without a playoff appearance by finishing 47-35 in the 2017–18 season, good for second place in the Northwest Division. In 2024, All-Star center Rudy Gobert earned the franchise’s first Defensive Player of the Year Award, while backup center Naz Reid won the Sixth Man of the Year Award.

The Target Centre is a great and affordable night out with the family. Very family orientated and the seating is great. You can see the court and players from any seat! The evening was lively and very entertaining and we would highly recommend anyone to attend a basketball game at the Target Centre and can't wait unitl we can catch our next one on our next trip out to Minneapolis
My wife and I caught the magic against the T-Wolves on News Years Day. It was our first NBA game and we really enjoyed it. Going to be in Denver in early April and we are going to try to catch a game there.
Very enjoyable. Wish that the games had been closer (blowout). It was nice to see both teams live. I was able to get some autographs from the away team. I definitely will come back to watch more NBA games. Nice to see that both sets of fans were respectful.
Despite being the second game of the year and with the T-Wolves being a young rebuilding team they played great against the overstacked Cavaliers. I am now a huge fan of Johnny Flynn, he ripped it up!
