New Wolves Giving Away 500 Lynx Playoff Tickets

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The newest Minnesota Timberwolves are pitching in to help the Lynx push toward another championship.

Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett, Zach LaVine and Thaddeus Young have purchased a total of 500 tickets for Game 2 of the Western Conference finals against the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday. The upper level tickets will be available for free to those who call the Lynx ticket office.

Wiggins, Bennett and Young were acquired in the trade that sent Kevin Love to Cleveland. LaVine was the team's first-round pick in the June draft.

The first 250 fans who call the Lynx ticket office at 612-673-8400 starting at 8 a.m. local time on Tuesday can claim two tickets.

The Lynx open the highly anticipated series on Friday in Phoenix.
