There is no question this area is hungry for a winning NBA team. That was evident after a capacity crowd announced at 15,200 showed up at Target Center on Wednesday night to see the Timberwolves show off newcomers such as Karl-Anthony Towns and Tyus Jones. Fans were turned away because the arena capacity for the Lynx is set up for a smaller crowd than for the Wolves.
Team President Chris Wright reported the Wolves sent out 300,000 e-mails about the event and 10,000 replied with most of them showing up.
