Tyus Jones was the recipient of the Flip Saunders Legacy Award before Sunday's game. Jones earned the award because of his work in community service. Jones received the award from Ryan and Debbie Saunders at center court as his teammates and fans clapped for him.

• The Wolves wore white and pink warm-up shirts with the initials "D.J." on the back in honor of Jones' mother Debbie, who is fighting breast cancer.
