1990–91 Minnesota Timberwolves season

The 1990–91 NBA season was the Timberwolves' 2nd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] After playing one year at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the Timberwolves moved into their new arena known as the Target Center, which opened on October 13, 1990.[2] They played their first game there on November 2 defeating the Dallas Mavericks 98–85 before a sold out crowd of 19,006. However, the Timberwolves continued to struggle in their second season finishing fifth in the Midwest Division with a 29–53 record, despite posting a solid 7–5 record in April. Tony Campbell continued to lead the T-Wolves in scoring averaging 21.8 points per game. Tyrone Corbin finished second on the team in scoring with 18.0 points per game, while second-year star Pooh Richardson led them with 9.0 assists per game.
