The Most Unforgettable Moments in Minnesota Timberwolves History

The Minnesota Timberwolves fans have had plenty of moments to cheer about over the years and here are two of those.

The Arrival of Kevin Garnett- Leading up to the mid 1990s was not a good time to be a fan of the Minnesota Timberwolves. They were struggling and then it all changed when they decided to take a punt on a young 18 year old Kevin Garnett in 1995. Garnett led the franchise to its most successful time in history, almost all on his own. He left the Wolves in 2007 but not before becoming their all time leader in almost every major category. The Wolves took a big risk when they signed Garnett but he proved that it was a very good decision.

The Epic 2003-2004 Season- The Minnesota Timberwolves clinched their first and only division championship to date that season. Then they entered the playoffs and it turned out to be one unforgettable adventure. They met the Denver Nuggets in the first round and came out on top 4-1 to clinch their first ever postseason series triumph.

The Wolves then went head to head with the Sacramento Kings in the Conference semifinals. The series was tied at three wins apiece and it was all to play for in Game 7 at the Target Center on May 19, 2004. It was a humdinger of a clash which ended with the Wolves winning 83-80 to seal their first appearance in the Conference Finals. They lost to the Lakers in the Conference Finals 4-2 but it was still a season that the Wolves fans will remember forever.

The animosity between Wisconsin and Minnesota sides is not only restricted to the NBA though. Just take a look at the Vikings-Packers and Brewers-Twins rivalries.

There is nothing to choose between the Wolves and the Bucks if you look at their recent records. The head-to-head record stands at 5-5 between them since the 2012-2013 campaign. Expect more fireworks when the Wolves and the Bucks meet next.

Cleveland Cavaliers - The rivalry between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Cleveland Cavaliers is a more recent one. It all kicked off between these two sides when Kevin Love left the Wolves, not on good terms, to make the move to the Cavaliers in 2014. The Wolves received Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins as part of the deal. So, since then whenever these two sides have met, the atmosphere has always been quite heated.
