As disappointing as last night’s loss was, this defeat tonight was a tad worse. With the OKC Thunder clearly trending in the wrong direction, a win against a good team like Minnesota offered a relief from their poor play. Unfortunately, we have seen this movie before, and the Thunder lost another important game against a conference rival.
The Timberwolves are a very tough team with a bevy of talented players. But it’s not like the Thunder lack talent as they have the OK3, not to mention Steven Adams having the best season of his pro career. Losses like this happen throughout the course of the NBA season, but to see OKC drop yet another one in familiar fashion is quite disheartening.
