Fresh off the All-Star break, the 31-28 Timberwolves are set to make a push over the last 23 games for just their second playoff appearance since 2004 and first in five seasons. That begins with home games Thursday and Friday against two of the NBA's top teams in Memphis and Philadelphia, matchups poised to draw big crowds to Target Center.
The Wolves are hoping big crowds become more the norm in downtown Minneapolis than the exception.
To help fill seats for next season and beyond, Chief Operating Officer Ryan Tanke said the team is not raising season-ticket prices for next season and will even be decreasing prices in certain areas.
