OKC Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves | Game Highlights | January 20, 2024

By SGA 31 points the other night in Salt Lake City talk about a model of consistency he’s got it as well folks and the Thunder ready for that L A Lot third most in the NBA how about this Jay D for goar snipped it out forc the steal Shay

Open instead wants to drive right on goar got to the rim scores with the left hand that is an excellent take a lot third most in the NBA how about this Jay du that he had to actually see that developing in order to tiep away that SJ once again plows right by

Edwards the kick out open shot Chad hren drains it from three terrific start takes a lot to attack go there there’s the flash by G he pulls up right the free throw line and it’s a quick 90 towns tied up turns it over the Thunder frustrated him multiple times

Home Gren leans in whistle and a foul talk about how that play developed Thunder once again getting a hand in that cookie jar stripping it away Off to the Races over they’re number one in that category and cashing those chips I mean points on the other end that’s also number one in the

Association and another anticipation another deflection and a steal giddy behind the back just floats at the other end SGA dumps it off deflection and a steel giddy behind the back just floats it the other end SGA dumps it off oh up looking for space and finally finds it

In the crease to lay it up and in W what a tough finish put pressure on Utah or on Minesota on both ends look at that Nifty pass Josh gy knew where his teammates were they were able to take advantage shooting particularly from three giddy head down would let it go be

Offensive rebound hren nowhere to go on the Baseline giddy got it trying to floated up and that’s a a shot off the glass right now the temps are trying to find some kind of off offensive continuity nice Cut nice find SGA on the backside JB flash right at that free

Throw line got down the lane now looking to pass Dort from the outside that three is good right over Kyle Anderson so that’s back to- back triples by the Timberwolves SJ put his head down once again right off that make going right to the rack shoot or drive this is on that

Fast break SGA so much speed as you said he just blitzed he showed up in such a big way just has not flinched all season long desite being a rookie tough set back three SGA boy he’s got another three on the sideline he had nowhere to go little things like that against a

Terrific score you got to be able to make that move oh what a block by Jaylen Williams step for step with Alexander Walker this totally different just a slight different on Aaron Wiggins oh good hands K Wallace right there in the passing Lane that was intended for

Edwards once again SGA looking for a shooter finds one Isaiah Joe outside Aaron Wiggins oh good hands K Wallace right there in the passing Lane that was intended for Edwards once again SGA looking for a shooter finds one Isaiah Joe outside splashes it home from three kind of thought he thought maybe

There was some weak side help down there tough shot Jaylen Williams off one leg that one was pretty come out to shine he is shining for the month of January and there he is forcing the turnover just pick the pocket of Reed takes it right to the cut win right at

Towns bounces off of them still able to score former two-way player out of LSU been huge for the Timberwolves Wiggins counters with a three of his own Aaron Wiggins from the outside Foster just kind of kept the same group together relying on that continuity from goar going into year two nice defense sh

Hren sniffed out the Lob see if they can manufacture some offense hen spins tough shot got it up over goar and you see the offensive skill set from Homen six points and look at this B move on goar that’s a defensive player of the year you’re shooting over yeah you know what he just

Picks stop shooting so much you picked your spots very selective and H with a high drive beautiful show the candy so Shay workmanlike first half at the collapse on goar beautifully done the help Defender and Joe came over and just snatched it right away goar the Thunder have intercepted three passes like that

They’re trying to go over the top of the defense Shay stops pulls up and sticks it final couple of minutes you retake the lead you got one-one defense yeah you know good look good luck with that because game tied at 52 th slight hesitation and then on the

Second time he Dr throws it right over goar I mean look at this you you got to pump fake a big man on the perimeter don’t don’t mention he’s a terrific on ball Defender that’s an off the ball steal I told you that he was going to be Minnesota’s leading score

You might be a little surprised that’s a tough shot too another tough shot by L Dort Edwards connley still looking for his first shot to go down this time he sends it over to goar and goar got met at the rim and denied but on this one he met

Him at the Apex and said access denied and you don’t see that very often with Rudy Gober not at that affected that shot going to try to create numbers get he floats it and jdub able to put it down that’s just a terrific protection

Of the rim J how about that I mean just stand vertical and you have to do that against Anthony ever he’s so powerful and you just continue to play on keep this game close defense has been solid throughout go once again she’s the second leading score for Minnesota that’s his third

Three Thunder been stuck on eight points here in this third quarter make it 10 that was the 106 103 win in this building nice dive and an excellent find on the pass there from SGA finding Wiggins sh bring it up out to the perimeter Jay will open for the three and he’s got

Himself a boom that’s what you need too because that’s been a big difference so far find a way to keep playing defense as the ball pops back over to mlin mlin once again got denied by Jaylen Williams that’s his second big block of the game perfect timing he brought it up part he

Normally takes charges with the night he’s blocking shots another block this is his second timed that perfectly it takes charges with the KN he’s poing shots going to need an ice breaker and they get it boy two-way action here from Jay will and a near steal and it is stolen

Away Jay will up ahead it’s two on one gidy right to J Minnesota is playing the Thunder about as tough as they possibly can right now on the defensive end and what has been a very lowc scoring fourth quarter but SJ finds some points there on that mid-range shot Shay fires it up

Jo right back to Dort Dort got to fly by open three and that’s good big shot and that’s five quick points for OKC how about this ball mover here hot potato with it got to pass the ball to move the defense as L dor Waits For The Fly by

Those five quick points came in a hurry shrink in the deficit Edwards stripped on the drive oh L Dort got his hand in there double team on Shay Inside Out game Dort did not want to take it in Isaiah Joe will fires it down underneath chat hren puts it up and

In with the dunk sometimes those passes to a big man underneath can be dangerous if they’re not above the waist he’s got terrific LM and he knows how to use it oh nice anticipation s with the punch plays like this the defense and another Minnesota turnover that’s number

20 forc them off the three-point line almost the steal there’s the deflection by jdb and OKC down by two Shay underneath fading away over towns as these type of plays there’s a steal keep the motor running in acceleration will Turn and Burn Town spins away from SGA way off on that push

Shot in the Thunder trying to get out and run Shay put his head down and that’s going to be an and one he got bumped by Conley and Edwards might have tipped it in shot after getting [Applause] hammered as he surveys wants to step back three and got the step back

Three Place one of the hardest places to play in the NBA this season and that’s going to put a lid on it right there that’s that’s the cherry on top and give them a rare loss at home only two losses at home all season how about limiting Minnesota to 14 points in

The fourth quarter turning the tables on what Minnesota did in the third the crowd hit in the exits and Oklahoma City hitting the wind column yet again splitting this road trip
