After fourteen years of futility (seven seasons with losing records, followed by seven more first-round playoff exits), the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets tonight for the first playoff series victory in franchise history.
The Sacramento Kings, led by the immobile Chris Webber, beckon in round 2, and while the schedule hasn't yet been announced, I'm planning to institute a Doug Christie Joke of the Day feature, which will run each game day for the duration of the series. E-mail me with ideas.
All that, and the Twins won too. Go "Minny"!
