The Oklahoma City Thunder fall to the Minnesota Timberwolves on the second night of a back-to-back, 132-102.
It seems like the Timberwolves have the Thunder’s number this season as they have defeated them by margins of eight points, 30 points, 37 points and 30 points. The final regular-season meeting between these teams featured Shai Gilgeous-Alexander having his worst game in nearly two months as his 29-plus point streak comes to an end at seven games.
As has been the case since the All-Star break, the Thunder’s defense just continues to slip in the defensive rating standings as they are ranked 28th in the league entering this game. The Timberwolves ended up scoring 132 points on 52.3 percent shooting that included scoring 101 points in just the first three quarters. The Timberwolves were also hot from deep as they shot 22-of-52 (42.3 percent) from beyond the arc.
