Starters actually outscored the Thunder starters to open the first.

Let’s see if our great bench can get us a bigger lead!

What has happened to the Wolves 3pt shooting? Second straight game where they are missing a massive number of wide open looks.

I know people don't want to believe it but Randle has been damn good these past few games

The insanity that not only does ant not get a superstar whistle , he might get the worst whistle in the league

Fire these refs

The idiotic turnovers are keeping the Thunder in the game.

You can't tell me that the way the game is called for the wolves vs how it's called for the thunder isn't responsible for at least multiple wins

Rotations were a little different in the first half. Each of Edwards, Gobert, and Randle played a short stint with the bench group (Donte/NAW/Josh/Naz).

Good first. Great defense. Sad shoot don't go in as we may be up by 15. OKC defense is also good. Great fight until now. Hoe we don't get usual 3rd slow down. Go Wolves!

Mike really struggling here in the 3rd.

EDIT: and then he hits 3 3s in the next minute.

Randle with 2 turnovers trying to dribble more than 40 ft from the basket.

Just an avalanch of terrible turnovers.

I think we beat our TO record in one quarter. Hat to OKC defense too. SGA definitely a superstar, much better than ANT at that stage.

Shai gets away with some of the most blatant pushoffs I've ever seen.

Probably should take a timeout at some point

OKC is a contender. We see where we belong tonight. Still lot of job to do to reach contender level.

Finch is absolutely the worst head coach in all basketball of not being able to contain an opponent momentum, he’s clueless :banghead:

How many poor third quarters does this team need to have before someone wises up?
