Game Preview

The Minnesota Timberwolves have waited 20 years to return to this stage.

The Dallas Mavericks were here two years ago, only to get bounced in five games by the eventual NBA champion Golden State Warriors.

When the Timberwolves and Mavericks tip off in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals Wednesday night in Minneapolis, both teams will forget about their histories. They are concerned only with the moment in front of them — a chance to land the first blow in what figures to be a physical best-of-seven series.
