The Wolves’ last playoff game at Target Center was Game 5 of the 2004 Western Conference finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, a 98-96 victory that forced a Game 6 they lost in L.A. “It’s great,” Wolves coach Tom Thibodeau said. “We’ve had great support all year and we certainly appreciate the support we’ve gotten. I know how hard this team has worked andfought to make it. You’re trying to erase 14 years of losing. It’s not an easy thing to do. This team has fought like crazy all year. We were basically a three-seed when Jimmy went down. We finished out game out of the fourth spot. I’m proud of what they’ve done and now our challenge is to win this next game.” Injuries
