The Timberwolves were 0-16 all-time against the Chicago Bulls heading into the 1997-98 season.
Up to that point, the Timberwolves had made the playoffs just once in 1996-97 with a record of 40-42. The Bulls, led by that Michael Jordan guy, had made the playoffs in every one of those seasons and had won five NBA championships.
They’d win No. 6 in 1997-98.
While 0-16 seems extreme, the Timberwolves were finding their footing in the league after some rough years to start, while the Bulls had the best player to ever play the game.
