This season is only the second out of 35 that the Timberwolves have advanced beyond the first round of the playoffs. The first came in the 2003-2004 season, which resulted in a trip to the Western Conference Finals. Ultimately, with injuries part of the storyline, the Lakers prevailed to win the West.

Troy Hudson was a reserve point guard and Gary Trent Sr. a reserve forward on that team. They joined our Darren ‘Doogie’ Wolfson earlier this week in studio for a fun conversation. They reminisced about that memorable run 20-years ago, plus opined about how much they’re enjoying this year’s squad.

The ‘03-’04 team was led by that season’s Most Valuable Player, Kevin Garnett. They won 58-games, and were the 1-seed in the West.

Starting point guard Sam Cassell was injured early in Game-2 of the West Finals, and Hudson was previously sidelined. The lack of adequate point guard play was part of why the Lakers won the series in six games.
