Gilgeous-Alexander’s 33 points not enough, as the Thunder drop 138-101 to the Timberwolves

The Oklahoma City Thunder (20-43) were defeated 138-101 by the Minnesota Timberwolves (35-29) on Friday night.

Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led all Thunder players with 33 points on 14-for-21 shooting, alongside five rebounds and seven assists. Forward Isaiah Roby scored 22 points on 7-of-15 shooting while grabbing 10 rebounds.

Outside of Gilgeous-Alexander and Roby, the Thunder weren’t able to find any offense. With guards Lu Dort (left shoulder strain) and Josh Giddey (sore right hip) out for another game, the Thunder lacked their playmaking in the starting lineup.

Offensively, Minnesota took advantage of Oklahoma City’s lackluster perimeter defense, draining 22-for-47 of its attempts beyond-the-arc.
