The Thunder’s game against the Timberwolves did not go completely to plan. Oklahoma City raced out to an early lead but Minnesota poured on the points in the third quarter to make the game interesting. The T-Wolves scored 44 points with the majority of those points coming inside the painted area.
Again, the Thunder’s lack of size played havoc with the team’s chances of winning the game. Coach Daigneault needs to address this issue, the back-line of the defense is getting very little help from the perimeter and the Thunder are leaking points in this shooting zone. This is a different story for a different day though, I had wanted to focus on Daigneault’s rotations late in the game.
