JUST BEFORE RUDY Gobert and Daniel Gafford step to half court for tipoff of Thursday's Game 5, an unmistakable opening guitar solo will pierce through the roar of the home crowd, setting the stage for the Minnesota Timberwolves' biggest game in two decades against the Dallas Mavericks. That will be followed by a drumbeat and synthesizer that is every bit as Minnesota as the Wolves logo in the middle of the Target Center's court.

The opening to "When Doves Cry" will build the home crowd into a frenzy.
