Strong 1st Half Leads To Wolves Home Opener Win Over Cavs

It wasn’t a blowout like we thought it would be when the Wolves were up 71-54 at half against the Cavaliers, but the Wolves still came away with a 131-123 to come away their first win of the season.

It came in front of a sold-out crowd in the team’s home opener. The Wolves are now 20-4 in their last 24 home openers, which is pretty remarkable. The 131 points scored is the most the team has scored in a home opener in franchise history.

Jimmy Butler led the Wolves with 33 points to go with seven rebounds and four steals in 36 minutes.
