Nearly 30 years after the Lakers left for Los Angeles the NBA returned to Minnesota with an expansion team known as the Timberwolves. Minnesota which was home of 2 different ABA teams had also gone 20 years without professional basketball. The T-Wolves made their debut on November 3rd losing to the Seattle Supersonics on the road 106-94. Five days later they would make their home debut at the Metrodome losing to the Chicago Bulls 96-84. Just 2 nights later the Wolves would finally get their first win beating the Philadelphia 76ers at home 125-118 on November 10th. The Timberwolves would go on to finish with a 22-60 record while finishing in 6th place in the Midwestern Division, as Tony Campbell led the team with 23.2 ppg. Playing in the cavernous Metrodome the expansion Timberwolves would draw over 1 million fans including the 3rd largest crowd in NBA history at 49,551 on April 17th that saw the Timberwolves lose to the Denver Nuggets 99-88 in the final home game of the season.
