StaTuesday: Target Center records
The Target Center turned 25 on Tuesday and the home of the Minnesota Timbewolves will be around for years to come, thanks to renovations.
The arena has seen its share of great performances over the years. Below we list the all-time bests in a number of statistical categories. If the record is by an opponent, we've tried to include the Minnesota record as well. You'll note a couple of records have stood since that opening season and they were set by current Timberwolves interim assistant coach Sam Mitchell.
A few other records have been around for over 20 years while a couple marks were set last season. Will any records fall this season?
