Key Facts About the Timberwolves 2011-12 Schedule
• By month, the schedule breaks down as follows: December (2 home, 1 away = 3 total), January (10 home, 8 away = 18 total), February (8 home, 6 away = 14 total), March (6 home, 11 away = 17 total), April (7 home, 7 away = 14 total).
• By day, the schedule breaks down as follows: Monday (6 home, 8 away = 14 total), Tuesday (3 home, 3 away = 6 total), Wednesday (7 home, 6 away = 13 total), Thursday (2 home, 3 away = 5 total), Friday (6 home, 6 away = 12 total), Saturday (4 home, 4 away = 8 total), Sunday (5 home, 3 away = 8 total).
• The Wolves enjoy one five-game homestand (Dec. 30-Jan. 6), one four-game homestand (March 5-10) and one three-game homestand (Feb. 1-7).
• Minnesota has one seven-game road trip: March 12-23 (PHO, UTAH, LAL, SAC, GS, SAN, OKC); and one four-game road stint: Feb. 28-March 3 (LAC, LAL, PHO, POR). Minnesota’s seven-game trip equals the longest road stretch in team history (1997-98: 3/23-4/5). The Wolves do not have a three-game road trip.
• Minnesota will play on national television six times this season, most since the 2005-06 campaign: Four times on NBA TV (2/13 at ORL, 3/3 at POR, 3/10 vs. NO, 4/1 at POR), and once each on ESPN (1/20 at LAC) and ESPN2 (4/9 vs. PHO).
• The Wolves will play two sets of back-to-back-to-back games: Jan. 8-10 (at WAS, at TOR, vs. CHI); Feb. 28-March 1 (at LAC, at LAL, at PHO). Their last back-to-back-to-back set was in the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season (April 14, 15, 16; played three back-to-back-to-back sets that year). Minnesota will play 16 back-to-backs: three home-home, six away-away, four home-away and three away-home. Last year the Wolves had 19 back-to-back sets.
• The Wolves will open their regular-season slate versus Oklahoma City on Monday, Dec. 26 at Target Center, marking the 11th straight season the club has opened at home. The Wolves are 13-9 in season openers, including 11-3 in season openers at home. Minnesota opened the 2010-11 campaign with a 117-116 loss to the Sacramento Kings at Target Center.
• The Wolves will play 48 games against Western Conference and 18 games versus Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Wolves will not play Atlanta, Milwaukee, New Jersey, Orlando, Toronto and Washington at home; and will not make trips to Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Miami, New York and Philadelphia.
