Target Center was full of energy Wednesday night for Kevin Garnett’s return to the Timberwolves. That energy culminated with a big introduction for number 21.
It’s been a long time since Target Center has sounded like this.

Soldout crowd and not a seat filled at Target Center; amazing intro video…this would've been worth 5 Thad Young's. #KG

The energy in the arena started even earlier, though. Timberwolves fans were fired up from the moment Garnett and the Wolves came out for warmups as evidenced in this video from the Pioneer Press’ Andy Greder.
There is a pulse here tonight. Fans have been standing last 15 minutes while final moments of warmups now tick down and nobody sits down

As for the game itself, Garnett scored five points and grabbed eight rebounds in less than 20 minutes, but his presence helped inspire Minnesota to rally from an early 15 point deficit to a 97-77 victory over Washington.
