The Thunder are back at home a night after barely surviving the Jazz in Utah. The Thunder were pushed to the limit, hanging on only as Jazz star Donovan missed a free throw that could have resulted in a tie and potential overtime. OKC is lucky to have been spared the extra period of action, because tonight they face a Timberwolves team trying to find themselves after the departure of Jimmy Butler.
The Wolves have struggled as of late, dropping six of their last seven, largely the fault of a porous defense.
