The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves , 112 - 92 , at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Saturday . Although the focal point of the Thunder 's ( 1 - 4 ) offense is usually located square at the point guard position , the team 's big men are certainly capable of impressively contributing in their own right . That facet was on full display Saturday , as Steven Adams and Enes Kanter combined for 34 points and 18 boards , helping to set the tone down low . Coupled with Russell Westbrook 's typically stellar output , Oklahoma City ( 5 - 1 ) posted an excellent 52 percent success rate from the field , as well as 44 percent from behind the arc , notably superior to the Timberwolves ' respective 39 and 21 percent figures in those categories . The Timberwolves ' starting five was decidedly top - heavy in terms of production , as Karl-Anthony Towns led the way with a game - high 33 points , which he supplemented with six rebounds and a block . He had little precious little help , however , as no other starter managed to even get into double digits on the scoring column . Gorgui Dieng struggled offensively for the second straight game , finishing with just eight points along with eight boards and four blocks . Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine were particularly underwhelming , totaling just seven and four points , respectively , on a combined 4 - of - 19 shooting tally . Shabazz Muhammed led the bench with 15 points and four rebounds . Westbrook led the Thunder with 28 points , eight assists , six rebounds and three steals . Adams contributed 14 points , eight boards , two assists , two steals and two blocks . Victor Oladipo posted 12 points , three rebounds , an assist and a steal , while Kanter paced the bench with a 20 - point , 10 - rebound double - double that also included an assist , a steal and a block . Minnesota has three days to get their act together , as they next take the court against the Brooklyn Nets in New York on Tuesday . The Thunder remain home to take on the Miami Heat on Monday night . Alongside the likes of Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo , the Thunder 's talented bigs are capable of some prolific production . That was evident Saturday , with Steven Adams and Enes Kanter combining for 34 points and 18 rebounds . Westbrook also totaled 28 points , as the trio paved the way for team success rates of 52 and 44 percent from the field and three - point range , respectively . Some of the Timberwolves ' most dependable sources of offense went cold Saturday , putting a sizable burden on the shoulders of Karl-Anthony Towns . Andrew Wiggins and Zach Lavine combined for just 11 points on 4 - of - 19 shooting , with each of their individual point totals ( seven and four , respectively ) serving as season lows . Towns was able to provide a game - high 33 points , but only one other Minnesota player , Shabazz Muhammad , managed double - digit scoring ( 15 points ) .
