The Chet Holmgren-less OKC Thunder overcame a 12-point third-quarter deficit to dispatch the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-105 at home on Tuesday. The victory extended OKC's league-best winning streak to 12 games, seemingly astonishing Golden State Warriors veteran star forward Draymond Green.
After trailing 65-53 with 8:30 remaining in the third quarter, the Thunder turned the tables on the Timberwolves. They closed the quarter on a 36-10 run, taking an 89-75 advantage heading into the final 12 minutes.
Minnesota later fought back to within three points late in the fourth quarter. However, OKC prevailed, spearheaded by superstar guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The two-time All-Star tallied a game-high 40 points on 65.2% shooting, hitting a late-game 3-pointer to extend his squad's lead to 109-103 with 1:48 left.
