The 1990–91 NBA season was the Timberwolves' 2nd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] The Timberwolves received the sixth pick in the 1990 NBA draft, and selected Felton Spencer out of Louisville University.[2][3] 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.[4] 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.[5]
