Wolves set for highest-grossing game ever Thursday against Lakers
The Timberwolves’ game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday will be their highest-grossing game of all-time, Timberwolves chief operating officer Ryan Tanke said during an appearance on Fox 9.
Tanke also told Fox 9 that the three largest retail nights in the history of Target Center have all come this season.
That should come as no surprise as the Timberwolves tout an NBA-best 20-5 record, with 11 of those wins coming on the Target Center court. Minnesota is 11-1 in downtown Minneapolis.
All 12 of the Timberwolves' games this season have been sellouts, their best mark ever to start a season. Minnesota had 23 sellouts last season and 16 during the 2021-22 campaign.
Thursday's game against LeBron James and the Lakers will be the second night of a back to back after Minnesota faces Joel Embiid and the 76ers in Philadelphia on Wednesday night.
