Preview: OKC Thunder cling to 3rd, face Wolves squad desperate for wins
With West opponents breathing down their neck the OKC Thunder face divisional rival Timberwolves in as close to a must win scenario as there is. Gameday previews the match.
Having already beaten the OKC Thunder in both earlier season matches the Minnesota Timberwolves look to make it three in a row tonight. Both victories were closely contested with a single bucket determining the outcome.
Although the Thunder remains seeded third the Blazers have precisely the same record. Having won the tiebreak versus Portland OKC have minor padding over them, but the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets are also charging hard to usurp the Thunder in third.
