The Minnesota Timberwolves just delivered the ultimate statement win, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 112-107. This was just the third loss of the season for the defending champs, who have looked invincible for most of the season. Yes, it's only one regular season game, but a win like this is enough to remind other teams that the Wolves are very much still contenders.
Frankly, this game had a playoff-like atmosphere, and after meeting in the Western Conference finals, there's clearly some bad blood between the two squads. Chris Finch being ejected in the first quarter certainly added to this playoff-like atmosphere, and it gave the Wolves an extra energy boost.
