Timberwolves interim coach Sam Mitchell had some advice for his team Friday before facing the heavily favored Thunder in Oklahoma City.
"I told them, 'They’re going to try to put us away early,'" Mitchell said, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "We just have to hang in there early."

The T-Wolves (21-45) did more than hang around early. Ricky Rubio nailed a 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds remaining to give Minnesota a stunning 99-96 upset on the Thunder's home court. Andrew Wiggins deserves some kudos for a great kick-out assist on the play.
