The Oklahoma City Thunder have lost just one game this season when leading heading into the fourth quarter. They were 28-1 overall. That total climbed to two on Monday night, with both losses now courtesy of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
It didn’t come on the toes of a blown lead, nor bad defense. This game had a playoff feel by every stretch of the imagination, with elite shotmaking back and forth down the stretch. It was a welcomed change of pace for a Wolves team that so desperately needed a nod of confidence in the clutch.
