This was a game of rookie debuts, mini-runs, and a whole lot of highlight reel plays.You couldn't ask for more from an early season game, especially considering how much of a snoozefest the Timberwolves had turned into last season.
The Timberwolves are a team full of questions, and a complete enigma to most who study them. Can they overcome the questions surrounding them and open the season with a win?
The Minnesota Timberwolves will start the season with a home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Will Rick Adelman be able to turn the ship around?
