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]
Tony Campbell continued to lead the T-Wolves in scoring averaging 21.8 points per game, plus contributing 1.6 steals per game, while Tyrone Corbin averaged 18.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game, and second-year star Pooh Richardson provided the team with 17.1 points, 9.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game. In addition, second-year forward Sam Mitchell contributed 14.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, and Spencer provided with 7.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, and was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.
