OKC Thunder gets their third straight win as Russell Westbrook notched another triple-double.
The OKC Thunder needed a win today against a team that has had their number all season long, in fact, against a team that they have not beaten all season long. They needed it on the road, and they needed it against a non-playoff team. Oh yeah, and on a Sunday afternoon on national television.
All signs pointed to a letdown game with this current OKC Thunder team.
That was not the case. The OKC Thunder actually started extremely fast in this game, jumping out to a solid start and causing the Timberwolves to burn a timeout about three minutes into the contest.
