Wolves record: 14-46
From Howlin’ T-Wolf: Quick Game 60 Recap: Thunder 109, Wolves 92
Oklahoma City led by as many as 25 points and never trailed. Despite its poor record, Minnesota has been in most of their games lately.
Forward Kevin Love led Minnesota with 19 points and eight rebounds. Al Jefferson contributed 12, while Ryan Gomes and Jonny Flynn added 10 apiece.
The Timberwolves have now lost eight of their last nine games and head back home to host Portland Saturday night.
From the Associated Press:
Durant reached 25 points for the 30th time in 31 games. His streak was stopped at 29 games by San Antonio on Wednesday night, the longest such streak since Michael Jordan scored at least 25 in 40 straight games in the 1986-87 season.
Kevin Love led the Timberwolves with 19 points and eight rebounds. He has led Minnesota in scoring each of the past four games while coming off the bench.
“He struggled and resisted a little bit coming off the bench, but for our team, it gives us better opportunities with both of our units,” said Wolves coach Kurt Rambis, who moved Love into a reserve role last month. “Once he got himself into a comfort area in playing off the bench, his numbers just climbed right back up again.”
