The Oklahoma City Thunder ( 35 - 13 ) held off the Minnesota Timberwolves ( 14 - 33 ) for a 126 - 123 win on Wednesday night . In what looks like an overtime final score , defense was an optional aspect of this game . Both teams shot over 52 percent from the field , with Minnesota hitting 56 percent of their shots . The free - throw shooting was huge for the Thunder here , as they went 20 - for - 21 , while the T-Wolves went just 18 - for - 28 . Oklahoma City also dominated the rebounding , as they snatched down 47 boards to the Wolves 35 . This marks Minnesota 's 17th loss in their last 20 games and the Thunder 's 19th win in their last 23 games . Oklahoma City has been thriving off defense recently , but their potent offense carried them to a win here . It was once again Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant who carried the load , as both had big nights . Westbrook finished with 24 points , 15 assists and eight rebounds while Durant tallied 27 points , nine rebounds and five assists in the victory . Enes Kanter gave the team a nice spark off the bench as well , as he double - doubled in a 23 point - 10 rebound performance . Those three players combined for just seven turnovers as well , which is impressive with how much they were all handling the ball . Oklahoma City will look to stay hot on Friday against the Houston Rockets in their next scheduled game . Minnesota put in a valiant effort here , but simply could n't keep up with this All-Star roster . It was the youngsters who were big for the Wolves tonight , as Zach LaVine , Karl-Anthony Towns and Gorgui Dieng had some of their best games of the year . LaVine fell just short of a career - high by dropping 35 points on 14 - for - 17 shooting and Dieng finished with 21 points and nine rebounds in a rare start . Karl-Anthony Towns was great as well , as he accumulated 19 points , 13 rebounds and five assists in the defeat . Minnesota 's next game will be on Friday against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City .
