NBA 2018/19, Oklahoma City Thunder 112-114 Minnesota Timberwolves: 3 Talking Points

#2. Team work makes the dream work

Okc vs Timberwolves

The Timberwolves were the better team today. They passed the ball more, they passed it often. They looked for open guys and tried to create plays. On the other hand, The Thunder relied heavily on their top 2 guys to make things happen for them.

A great example of this incredible team play was shown when the Timberwolves were 108-110 behind and they found Dario Saric for an open look, who hit the three to give them the lead. It is this kind of team play that gives you the victory.

On the other hand, the Thunder were not sharing the ball enough and not engaging everyone to be able to make an impact. This costed them big time when the Timberwolves started to lock-in on George and Westbrook, and they didn’t have enough space to do anything with the ball.
