About
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.

The last round of upgrades were unveiled at the outset of the 2017–18 season, with a newer exterior and a three-story atrium over a new entrance, home to the iconic statue of George Mikan.

by wishwashy3001 on 10/10/09Target Center - Minneapolisgame was Ok but we need to play more D . And play as a whole team not just every one out for them self's like I saw last night
Rating: 3 out of 5by Anonymous on 10/10/09Target Center - Minneapolis I enjoyed the atmosphere. I would like if they dimmed the lights around the court and had the game be 'the center of attention' like the Staples Center.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Timberwolves vs Bucks in Mankato okay
by fazazz on 10/5/09Bresnan Arena Taylor Center - MankatoWas okay, we haven't been to a Timberwolves game at the Target Center but were at a LYNX game there and it was so much fun. This game at Mankato was almost boring, music wasn't loud enough, not enough crowd interaction/participation to make it fun. Prices were excellent on tickets, merchandise and food!
