The Oklahoma City Thunder ( 29 - 12 ) took care of business against the Minnesota Timberwolves ( 12 - 29 ) in a 113 - 93 victory on Friday night . These are two teams going in opposite directions and that was clearly evident with this result . The Thunder got out to a 14 - point lead after the first quarter and never looked back after that . The assisting and turnovers were the difference in the game , as the Timberwolves really struggled against this potent defense . Minnesota finished the game with 15 assists and 12 turnovers , while Oklahoma City finished with 31 assists and six turnovers . The Timberwolves were one of the surprise stories of the NBA in the first two weeks of the season , but they 've fallen back into lottery obscurity since . After starting the season 4 - 2 , they are now 8 - 27 over their last 35 games . The crazy thing about it is that they continue to start players like Kevin Garnett and Tayshaun Prince with some talented youngsters sitting on the bench . It was their most prized youngster who played well here , as Andrew Wiggins finished the game with 25 points in a solid performance . No other player scored more than 15 points in the loss and it was simply an ugly performance from the Wolves . Minnesota has a good chance at a win in their next game though , when they host the struggling Phoenix Suns on Sunday . The Thunder have beaten the Timberwolves in nearly every game since their move from Seattle to Oklahoma City and the dominance continued here . After being ejected with zero points in his last game , Russell Westbrook bounced back nicely here with his fourth triple - double of the season . The amazing thing is that he did that in just 27 minutes of action . Kevin Durant was no slouch tonight either though , as he finished with 21 points , six rebounds and seven assists in the victory . Neither of those superstars played in the fourth quarter either and that 's a great way to earn your studs some extra rest . Dion Waiters also accumulated some good numbers in garbage time , as he scored 20 points in the win . Oklahoma City has an interesting matchup in their next game , as they host the Miami Heat on Sunday .
