The win is only the Timberwolves third win in fourteen Game Ones the franchise has played. They entered this postseason 2-11 all-time in Game Ones.

Historically, NBA teams taking Game One of a best-of-seven series go on to win the series 75.3% of the time (454-149). That percentage goes up to 84.7% when the home team wins the series opener.

Game Two is back at Target Center on Tuesday night.
