Meeting the SuperSonics for the first time since each franchise started

Wolves lost an early 26-11 lead and their composure when the opposition
switched after one quarter to a zone defense that they couldn’t
decipher until it was far too late.
Wolves record: 3-18

sweater and jeans, very Minnesota-like attire.
21 Wolves turnovers, which tied a season high.
