The Oklahoma City Thunder (22-17) are coming off one of their worst losses of the season—a 125-110 drubbing by the Los Angeles Lakers (32-7)—and tonight, they hope to rebound with a win on the road against the Minnesota Timberwolves (15-23).
The last time the Thunder played the Timberwolves, the game ended in dramatic fashion as OKC managed to rally and force OT in front of a home crowd before eventually winning 139-127.
That win was the start of something special for the Thunder, and since then, OKC has gone 14-5. The Timberwolves, however, have struggled, and they have won just 5 of their 18 games since then.
