Earlier this summer, it was revealed that the Minnesota Timberwolves would be in the same NBA Cup group as the defending champion, the Oklahoma City Thunder. This offered a perfect opportunity for the Wolves to get revenge on the team they fell short against in the Western Conference finals.
Now, with the NBA Cup schedule being released, it was announced that Minnesota will travel to OKC on November 26 on ESPN. As part of the NBA Cup, Minnesota will host the Utah Jazz on November 7, followed by the Sacramento Kings on November 14, before traveling to play the Phoenix Suns on November 21.
