There was a game on Thursday night at the Target Center.
But the night was much bigger than that. It was about a man who changed the culture of Minnesota basketball.
The Timberwolves honored Flip Saunders prior to the game, placing Flip’s spot overlooking the Wolves forever.

Former Timberwolves broadcaster and current TNT broadcaster Kevin Harlan was the perfect voice to narrate the event. The Saunders family, along with Glen and Becky Taylor, were to Harlan’s right.
