TIMBERWOLVES at THUNDER
7PM CST | Image
Location: Chesapeake Energy Arena
Timberwolves: 9-20 | #13 in West
Thunder: 18-12 | #6 in West

ESPN Pregame Breakdown:
Spoiler:
Westbrook had 14 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists on Christmas in 2013. It was his seventh career triple-double and the eighth triple-double on Christmas in NBA history. Nobody has had one since then.

Should Westbrook get another one, he would be the second player in NBA history with multiple triple-doubles on Christmas. The other is Robertson, who had four between 1960 and 1967.

While most fans will focus on his points, rebounds and assists, watch out for Westbrook’s steals. He had six on Christmas last year and has 20 for his career on Christmas, which ranks second all time. He has a chance to pass Scottie Pippen (24 in seven games) to become the all-time Christmas leader in steals.

No team in NBA history has ever had more than one player 21 or younger average 20 points per game. Minnesota has three of them.

No team in NBA history has ever had more than one player 21 or younger score at least 20 points on Christmas. Towns, Wiggins and LaVine have all scored at least 20 in the same game three times this season. At least two of them have done it in the same game on 17 different occasions.

Towns, Wiggins and LaVine are the highest-scoring 21-or-younger trio in NBA history. The team that held that distinction previously is the one they are facing on Christmas, though Westbrook is the only player remaining from what was once a high-scoring trio that included Durant and James Harden.

So Sabonis just blew by Towns and dunked on Dieng, drawing a foul in the process. Wow.

Morrow 0-3 from three. Time to try Abrines.

If teams continue doubling Kanter, we need more shooting and more movement on the floor.

Getting away from us a little bit. Towns just walked before that dunk. And on the other end Roberson rim chokes a dunk. Awesome.

Yeah we haven't found our offensive rhythm yet. Russ taking too many 3s. I don't get why he continues to do that

More Abrines, less Singler please.

Lauvergne wants to get paid.

Getting some excellent minutes from Kanter and Joffrey. Much needed boost from the bench because the starers sucked int he 1st quarter.
