Karl-Anthony Towns tossed around the San Antonio Spurs like a ragdoll in their previous outing at the AT&T Center, notching a career-high 60 points while carrying the Minnesota Timberwolves to victory. But the good guys will have a golden opportunity to bounce back from their pitiful defensive performance as they host a lottery-bound club on Wednesday night.
The Oklahoma City Thunder enter this game on a league-worst six-game losing streak. And they have virtually nothing to play for as they continue adding lottery balls to their collection for the 2022 NBA Draft. As if Mark Daigneault didn’t have enough on his plate, the youngest head coach in the NBA is also missing three-fifths of his usual starting lineup.
