The Thunder plays the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night, and it’s a matchup of teams going in the opposite direction.
The Thunder has won 11 of 14 and zoomed up to seventh seed in the Western Conference. OKC is 22-17 and four 4-1/2 games ahead of eighth-place Memphis.
The Timberwolves are 15-23 and in 12th place in the West, just two games behind Memphis but 6-1/2 games behind OKC.
