Timberwolves game 3 draws major crowds to downtown Minneapolis
A packed Target Center was howlin’ Saturday night. Fans started showing up hours before the game started decked out in team colors.
While the Timberwolves have a tough task, fans are not defeated.
“Series doesn’t start till the road team wins, so we’re still in this thing,” smiled Kaleb White.
White drove over an hour to be amongst all the Timberwolves and watch what he hopes to be a win. The team might be trailing in the series, but businesses in the area are winning big.
Inside Gluek’s Bar and Restaurant, it was shoulder to shoulder, a boost owner Dave Holcomb says is needed.
“For us we live on events, these are extremely important,” Holcomb said.
He’s expecting to nearly double what they’d normally make on Saturday night when a game is not on.
“Basically, the Olympics for us and we want to keep it going,” Holcomb said.

Less than a week after a blizzard and subzero temperatures, the mercury officially soared to 77 degrees at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Saturday, breaking a record set 88 years ago in the Twin Cities.
On March 21, 1938, the recorded high was 76 degrees, according to the National Weather Service Twin Cities office.
“We went from a blizzard and lows below zero to near record warmth in just 6 days,” a KSTP meteorologist posted on X. “Now THAT is March Madness!”
The weather service said cooler temperatures are expected for the rest of the week and that other than a small chance the Twin Cities will see rain tonight, the rest of the week remains “quiet” weather-wise.
The area is looking at a possible high of 45 degrees on Sunday, a potential high of 55 on Monday, and a possible 60 degrees on Tuesday, the weather service said. Those days will most likely have partly cloudy skies, as well.
