Despite yet another game in the face of adversity– 10 healthy players on the road against a fully stocked roster – the resilient Thunder battled and stuck to the game plan. It took the collective effort of every single player, but the result was seven players in double figures and a convincing victory on the road.
Coming into the game, the Thunder fully expected it would take contributions from every player to put itself in a position to beat the Wolves. The squad was without Nerlens Noel, Danilo Gallinari, Terrance Ferguson and Abdel Nader. Steven Adams returned to the lineup for the first game back after an ankle sprain that kept him out for two games.
