- Timberwolves defense is non-existent on the road as they give up 111.5 while OKC gives up 95 on their home turf. To build on this, OKC ranks #1 in opponent shooting % at home at 41.4% while the T-Wolves are rank #30 giving up 50.8% shooting while away
- Both teams were on the East Coast playing yesterday and both ended up with nice L's on their forehead. Minny covered Atlanta and put up 100 against them while the Cavs beat the Thunder in what many can say was a statement game for Cleveland. I think in breaking the Hawks cover streak, they proved they can hang...BRAVO T-Wolves, bravo!
- Cavs on the other hand caught OKC on the end of a 5 game road trip. OKC's last 3 games have been against Washington, Atlanta, and Cleveland (definitely no cake walk). Minny has played Atlanta, Dallas, and NO in their last 3, also a tough schedule.
- Pace will also be a big factor in this game. L3 games, Minny averaging 91.8 possessions a game, ranking #29 and going at a snails pace. OKC L3 games, they have averaged 103.1 possessions a game, ranking #4.
