The Minnesota Timberwolves dropped their third game of the road trip Friday night, falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder 113-99.
Neither Nikola Pekovic nor Kevin Garnett played for the Wolves – it was the third straight game that Garnett missed. He also sat out losses to the Clippers and Suns earlier in the week.
The Thunder’s triple-double machine Russell Westbrook didn’t miss the game and he didn’t disappoint finishing with 29 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
