TRAP TRAP TRAP.

The Wolves are playing as poorly as any team in the NBA right now, but hopefully Kevin Durant and company don't overlook them. After an emotional win last night it'd be easy to falter against a team we only barely scraped out wins against twice this year.

This is a game where our defense should impose itself. The Wolves aren't a good team moving the ball around, with the third worst Assist Rate in the NBA. Al Jefferson is a load and has improved a bit lately, but the Wolves don't have many options outside of him.

The Spurs beat the Lakers tonight, and Portland's still on our tail too. It's crowded in the West and every game's important. Hopefully we take care of business.

Hopefully no letdown tonight.

I love that rock tune FSN Thunder play during timeouts, replays (delivery of the game) and such. Anyone know if it's from a released track?

Russ controlling the game, great execution, terrible D, on both sides

Air Congo went up for a huge driving dunk.

Durant, woah! Going for 50 the way he's shooting the ball tonight.

Serge has 11 shot attempts this half. Interesting. I like that they are letting him play and get involved.

48.4 POSS
148.7 ORTG
103.2 DRTG

Can’t get much better than that. Fairly quick pace. Efficient offense. Even though Minnesota shot a decent percentage, our DRTG is rated high because we’re prevented second chance shots and forcing turnovers and few free throw attempts.

Can’t play a much better half of basketball.

Can't believe how bad this quarter has been. Minnesota's slicing up our defense and we're just content hanging around the perimeter shooting jump shots. No idea why Brooks took our Russ, he's the only one who had any energy this quarter. Eric Maynor looks like he's playing under the influence of horse tranquilizers.

Well we're going to win so that's what matters. Scary breakdown in the second half though. Not a good showing..

for whatever reason we let off the gas when up big. Guys get complacent....

They were helping Vegas by not covering the spread of -13.
