Wednesday night the Minnesota Lynx are back home in Minneapolis for Game 3 of the finals series against the New York Liberty. The teams are tied at one game a piece. This year has been an amazing year for basketball in Minnesota, with the Timberwolves also making a big run in the playoffs. It raises the question, is Minnesota a basketball state?
One filmmaker thinks so. In fact, it’s in the title of his new documentary, “Basketball State: Land of 10,000 Hoops.”
Gabe Hostetler joins MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about his new film, which is making its premiere this weekend at the Twin Cities Film Festival.
