Free food promos at Target Center

The Timberwolves run two conditional food promos at home games. If an opposing player misses two consecutive free throws in the fourth quarter or overtime, every fan gets a free Chick-fil-A Original Chicken Sandwich, claimed the next day through the official Timberwolves app. A separate McDonald’s fries deal triggers when the Wolves hit 11 three-pointers.

Both are conditional rather than scheduled, so they are not on the promo calendar. You find out during the game.
