About the Team
The Minnesota Timberwolves joined the NBA for the 1989-90 season as part of a two-phase league expansion that also brought in Orlando, Miami, and Charlotte.
Four months before the NBA granted Minnesota a franchise, the nickname of "Timberwolves" was selected as the winner of a "Name the Team" contest. Fans throughout and beyond Minnesota submitted 6,076 entries featuring 1,284 different names. Timberwolves was submitted 17 times. A most appropriate nickname was chosen for the state&s NBA team, as Minnesota is home to the largest population of timberwolves in the lower 48 states. The Timberwolves also held a public contest for the design of the first official team logo. Over 2,600 entries were submitted, some from as far away as Norway, Alaska, Florida and California. But it was a Minnesota native who submitted the wolf that Club President Bob Stein described as "aggressive, but not sinister."
The Minnesota Timberwolves made their NBA debut on November 3, 1989, against the SuperSonics at Seattle. The starting lineup consisted of Sam Mitchell, Tod Murphy, Brad Lohaus, Tony Campbell, and Sidney Lowe.
Minnesota finished with a 22-60 record, the best among the NBA&s four newest teams. The Timberwolves ended the season ranked second in the NBA in team defense. After seven long years in which the Timberwolves had never won more than 29 games, the 1996-97 season was a breakout campaign. Minnesota won 40 games, erasing the previous franchise record for wins by early March. Built by Minnesota native Kevin McHale and guided by head coach Flip Saunders, the Wolves advanced to the playoffs for the first time in their history. 1998-99 the Wolves lockout-shortened season ended with 25-25 and they lost to San Antonio in the first round of the playoffs.
The Timberwolves completed the 1999-2000 regular season with a franchise-best 50-32 record, eclipsing their previous best of 45-37 set in 1997-98. It was the third straight season the Wolves ended the season over .500 and their fourth straight postseason appearance. The Wolves took on Portland in the playoffs and won Game 3 at Target Center (94-87) before losing the series 3-1. The Timberwolves started the 2001-02 season with a 30-10 record, finishing with a franchise record-tying 50 wins, and advanced to the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.
Minnesota finished the 2002-03 regular season with a 51-31 record, the best mark in franchise history. The season brought the club&s sixth-straight .500+ campaign, in addition to its seventh consecutive postseason appearance.
