The highly anticipated rematch between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Minnesota Timberwolves turned out to be as advertised. 31 lead-changes, 15 ties. The two teams once again traded blows until the final horn as the Timberwolves edged a 119-116 victory over the Thunder.
Jeff Teague missed his second free throw and left the door open for a Thunder attempt to tie the game. Westbrook raced up the court and found Carmelo Anthony, who faked a hand-off back to Russ and took a wing three that bounced off the backboard and off the rim, the last shot to tie the game.
