The Thunder need to push the pace, or they could be left in the dust in intense matchups.
It's getting difficult to wave away these losses. The Oklahoma City Thunder, coming off a dominant, feisty win over the New Orleans Pelicans, were blown out of the water by the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night.
They trailed by double digits virtually from tip-off, losing the game by a final score of 111-123. Minnesota came out ready to play, attacking on both ends of the court with playoff-level intensity, and the Thunder did not.
