TIMBERWOLVES AT THUNDER
The Thunder are coming off a poor offensive performance as they fell to the Jazz. Oklahoma City are trying to find their way as they integrate George and Anthony into the offence, but they are taking on another team on Sunday still building chemistry after the Minnesota Timberwolves added Jimmy Butler and Jeff Teague to the fold in the offseason.
