Well, that was certainly an NBA basketball game that the Minnesota Timberwolves won!
Oklahoma City was down to just 8 eligible/healthy players, which clearly swung things in favor of Minnesota in the first game of this baseball style series, and Minnesota actually took advantage of that. The Thunder won most of the minutes where starters were in the game, but Minnesota’s bench won the game for them tonight. Every Minnesota bench player had a positive +/-, and every starter had a negative one.
Single game plus-minus is noisy, but I think that illustrates just how important Jake Layman and Jaylen Nowell were in particular.
