Q1 6:21 – Timberwolves 16, Thunder 11
Minnesota definitely looks like the more composed offensive team early, as the Timberwolves are 6-for-10 from the field and 4-for-5 from 3-point range early on. Oklahoma City is staying close thanks to the Thunder’s most reliable sources of offense — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and fastbreak opportunities after Minnesota misses.
Isaiah Hartenstein is the only other scorer for Oklahoma City so far besides SGA thanks to two alley-oop dunks, one of which was set up by a Hartenstein block on the other end.
