The Minnesota Timberwolves showed plenty of fight, but they faced just a bit too much just a bit too short-handed. The Wolves couldn't replicate their last stunning upset performance against the West-leading Oklahoma City Thunder, falling 130-123 Sunday night at Target Center in Minneapolis in the first of back-to-back games against Oklahoma City.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 37 points on 13-for-24 shooting from the field, grabbed eight rebounds and dished eight assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder held on for a 130-123 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night in Minneapolis.
