The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 111-107, breaking a three game losing streak while recording their first win against a Northwest division opponent. Having already lost to the Wolves twice already in this young season, not only were the Thunder looking to avenge two close losses, but also to de-mystify this strange thing called basketball.
To end the skid that was growing progressively worse by the day, the Thunder got substantial efforts from Paul George, who finished with 36-9-4 with 3 blocks on the night, and Steven Adams, who proved that while we may not remember him by that jump shot, we will remember the night he was literally perfect, finishing with a career-high 27 points on 11-11 shooting from the floor and 5-5 from the free throw line, to go along with 4 offensive rebounds, a steal and a block.
