Coming off two straight road wins and boasting a four-game win streak, the OKC Thunder hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday night. OKC hoped to extend their win streak and continue their winning tone into their Christmas day matchup with the Houston Rockets.
Unfortunately for the Thunder, Andrew Wiggins and the Timberwolves had other plans. Minnesota delivered a lump of coal in this holiday matchup, ending Oklahoma City’s win streak in a tightly contested 114-112 contest. The win for Minnesota marked their first road win against a western conference opponent.
The Timberwolves have endured a tumultuous season thus far in 2018, from the much publicized Jimmy Butler exit to a lackluster 14-18 start.
