The 1991–92 NBA season was the Timberwolves' 3rd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] Under new head coach Jimmy Rodgers, the Timberwolves began their season amidst a blizzard when a one-day record 24 inches or 0.61 metres of snow fell as they lost to the Utah Jazz 112–97 on November 1. Early into the season, the team traded Tyrone Corbin to the Jazz for Thurl Bailey as they continued to get worse with an awful 8–38 start around the All-Star Break. Their struggles continued as they went on a 16-game losing streak in March, finishing last place in the Midwest Division with a 15–67 record (.183), which remains the equal lowest winning percentage in the franchise’s history[2] alongside the 2009–10 Timberwolves. Following the season, Tony Campbell was traded to the New York Knicks, and Pooh Richardson and Sam Mitchell were both dealt to the Indiana Pacers.
