The 2010-11 Minnesota Timberwolves season was notably challenging, as the team finished with a record of 17-65, the worst in the Western Conference. Under head coach Kurt Rambis, the Timberwolves struggled to find consistency, despite having a promising young roster.
Kevin Love emerged as a standout player, leading the league in rebounds with an average of 15.2 per game and earning a spot in the NBA All-Star Game. He also set a franchise record with 53 consecutive double-doubles, showcasing his ability to dominate the boards and contribute offensively with 20.2 points per game.
Despite Love’s individual success, the team’s defense was porous, allowing opponents to score 107.7 points per game, ranking near the bottom of the league. This inability to stop opposing offenses was a significant factor in their disappointing season. The Timberwolves would look to rebuild and regroup in the subsequent seasons to improve their standing in the NBA.
- Regular Season Record: 17-65
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
