12:17Minnesota continues to have problems
12:19with turnovers that's 15 to just two

13:37he is on the right-hand side of the
13:38floor just hands up keep moving run
13:41around until you find a shot that's
13:44what Mark Digno says he does he just
13:46keeps running and putting himself in
13:48the eye of the guy who's got the ball
13:50and eventually going to find a shot
13:52opportunity their depth is truly
13:54amazing when you look at teams at this
13:58stage of the season starting to think
14:00about what the rotation is going to
14:02look like in the playoffs well for
14:04Oklahoma City it might be different
14:06every night in the playoffs they have
14:07so many guys they can go to I think
14:10you saw that in the run to the title
14:12last year certain series were meant
14:14for certain players and today doors
14:17their bench has outscored their
14:18starters Randall no good on the step
14:21back Anderson there with a long rebound
14:27Edwards in and out on the triple try
14:29offensive rebound Randall to Sumer
14:34will try it and miss it and a foul
14:37inside is Reid got the rebound going
14:40to be on the Thunder that is team
14:41foul number three well Nas Reid has now
14:46done this twice you talk about winning
14:48the possession battle against this team
14:51they have not done that this far but
14:53chipping away here because
14:55consecutive possessions where you've
14:57gotten multiple opportunities first
15:00foul on Joe second team foul Minnesota
15:03ball with a five-point lead Minnesota
15:07ending a four-game road trip and they
15:10start a three-game homestand Tuesday
15:12against Phoenix they lose the tiebreaker
15:14with the Suns they're only two ahead of
15:16them for the number six spot to avoid
15:19having to go into the play in tournament
15:21empty possession there for the Wolves
15:23and yet again Shea Gilgis Alexander
15:26keeping his head in the game defensive
15:28play takes away that lob and a turnover
15:33Gobert picks off that pass just the
15:35third turnover by the Thunder Anderson
15:42working the lane underneath Gobert blocked
15:44at the rim by Gilgis Alexander how does that
15:47happen great feet SGA Williams get the
15:53lay out the MVP doing it on both ends
15:57that's the key Dave I mean it's not it's
16:00been a monumental struggle shots he makes
16:03in his sleep have not gone down do you
16:06stop playing says hell no I'm an MVP
16:09lob threat pass wasn't great he makes
16:12the play now you look like you got your
16:14big-time center shooting 70 percent
16:17Shea says not in my house game to be won
16:19and now in transition a little dish down
16:22to Jalen and they need a timeout
16:29in question here Shea Gilgis Alexander
16:32challenged by Anthony Edwards big-time
16:35challenge staying on his hip now it's
16:37Julius Randle's turn stay on his hip
16:40stay in position don't foul keep your
16:43hands out of the cookie jar you look at
16:46his numbers versus primary defenders
16:49Gobert has actually given up five
16:50points SGA eight points eight assists
16:53no turnovers but three of 16 from the
16:55floor he's missed five in a row Edwards
16:58misses again he's 0 for five from the
17:00floor in the quarter so he's struggling
17:014 of 13 overall Caruso with a kick
17:05out Joe wide open to tie it up it's
17:07good 13 points off the bench for
17:16Isaiah Joe now 16 with his four three
17:19pointer so second tough shot Anthony's
17:21taken that's led to a three
17:26they've got a whistle they're gonna
17:27say a foul on the Thunder before the
17:29turnover by Minnesota it's on Jalen
17:33Williams a blocking file look like
17:38Gobert already lost the ball at that
17:39point and out of control but it's team
17:43foul number three oh my this is really
17:45hard he doesn't have possession and
17:47Rudy hasn't looked like himself all
17:49day he's got four turnovers been
17:51blocked at the rim wow yeah no points
17:56for Gobert in this game shot clock at
18:00seven Edwards driving through the
18:02lane and he scores first basket of the
18:05third I wonder if he is trying to get
18:08himself going because he thinks they
18:09can't get out of here without him
18:11really doing some things and Randall's
18:13on the bench right now as well Jalen
18:15Williams three off the mark go bear
18:17rolls to the ground not banged up just
18:22got tripped he's gone down a few times
18:27Noah's read former six man of the year
18:30winner nice speed go bear again at the
18:33rim met by Jalen Williams this time out
18:38of bounds to the thunder now they got
18:39a change that's Minnesota ball yep
18:41got it right second time I thought he
18:43forced the last shot it led to a three
18:45Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
19:16And this is big, you know, that stretch of time where they were without Shea and without Jalen Williams, and
19:24he had stretches where he was commanding the offense, eating up some of the possessions.
19:31J-Dub is close, he's not quite that, but if you can have a more dangerous, more aggressive case in
19:37Wallace, you know, it just changes things.
19:40Gets the first free throw, Edwards commits his third foul.
19:44Wolves are over the limit now, and Kayson Wallace, one of the top defenders in the NBA, said 14 games
19:50this year with four steals or more.
19:55Check in with Katie for more.
19:56Well, guys, Wallace said the recent stint with SGA, J-Dub, and A.J. Mitchell out gave him a boost
20:01in confidence.
20:01He said, I now know I'm going to be in similar situations down the stretch and in the playoffs, so
20:06getting those reps will only help me down the road.
20:08He has now valuable, tangible experience he can draw from.
20:11Great steal there, Dave.
20:13And he finds Caruso the trailer, who attacks Edwards and scores, and the Thunder back and front.
20:20I don't know that I've ever seen Anthony Edwards pick-pocketed in the middle of the floor that far from
20:26the cup.
20:27That gets the crowd here at PayCon gone.
20:3243 bench points for the Thunder to just 32 for the starters.
20:38And another turnover.
20:40That is number 18 by Minnesota.
20:43The pressure by Oklahoma City has ramped up a match.
20:53Corner three, Jalen Williams, hit it.
20:57The friendly home bounce pushes the lead to five.
21:02Defense!
21:04Seven-nothing run by the Thunder.
21:08Defense!
21:11Defense!
21:12Here's DeSumo, no points this half after 15 in the first.
21:16Defense!
21:21And it's blocked by Williams, a shot clock violation.
21:27I mean, what a difference.
21:29All of a sudden, any kind of clean dribble is being contested.
21:35The pressure they are putting on at the point of attack is making Minnesota uncomfortable.
21:43OKC, the number one defense in the NBA.
21:45On full display, down the stretch of the third as Gilgis Alexander draws a foul.
21:51He's attempted just two free throws in the game.
21:58The Sulu picks up the personal.
22:00This defense by Oklahoma City in the second part of this third quarter has been what they've been about.
22:09And it has changed the game.
22:12Minnesota just two for its last 13.
22:15Meanwhile, Gilgis Alexander now nine points.
22:19At that 20-point mark in 127 straight games, beating Will Chamberlain's record of 126 in a row.
22:27Chamberlain's streak ended when he got ejected four minutes into the game.
22:30Otherwise, who knows how long that streak would have been.
22:33SGA up to 10 points now, but halfway to 20.
22:36Got to imagine he'll sit part of the fourth.
22:39Oklahoma City's lead is seven.
22:41They're on a 9-0 run.
22:43And a foul called.
22:45The Thunder had one to give, and so SGA takes it there as second personal.
22:54Shot clock to 14, 15.8 on the game clock.
23:02Edwards goes back and gets it, guarded by Kaysen Wallace.
23:06Now switching, Gilgis Alexander on him, shot clock at four.
23:09Corner three, Desumu, good!
23:13Big hit by Ayo Desumu.
23:15Three seconds to go.
23:17A 30-footer from Caruso is short.
23:20And the third quarter comes to an end with the Thunder leading by four.
23:25NBA Sunday Showcase will continue after these messages.
23:29And a word from our ABC stations.
23:38Sunday Showcase on ABC presented by Popeyes.
23:40We're on the sidelines with Alex Caruso.
23:42Alex, this place sounded like it was going to explode.
23:44What did you like about the way you guys closed the quarter?
23:47Yeah, we just battled a little better on the defensive end.
23:49There were a little too many gaps.
23:50We didn't rebound well enough to start the quarter.
23:52We got some stops, and he got down here and got to play offense.
23:55Julius Randle was cooking before he subbed out.
23:57I know you spent some time on him.
23:58What's the key in defending against him?
24:00Yeah, you got to tell you what, easy ones here.
24:01You got a couple of easy layups, like a little uncontested midrange at starts.
24:05And how all of a sudden he feels good.
24:07Same thing I just told you.
24:07We got to climb into him, you know, try and take some of that comfort away.
24:10Thanks, Alex.
24:11Appreciate it.
24:11Appreciate it.
24:11Dave, Katie Caruso is tied for second on the team in scoring today with 15 points.
24:17Meanwhile, the Thunder start the third with a bucket to go up six.
24:23Highland wide open.
24:24And the three bounces off the rim twice.
24:27Rebound Joe.
24:28The respective stars sitting to start the fourth.
24:33Anthony Edwards, Shea Gilgis-Alexander.
24:36And Edwards, five baskets, five turnovers.
24:39Gilgis-Alexander just three buckets.
24:43Mitchell, the loft broken up beautifully by Nas Reid.
24:47Four on two.
24:48To Sumu, the trailer leaves it for Reid, who's fouled.
24:53So Gilgis-Alexander on the bench to start the fourth.
24:56But this is usual, usually a time he's on the bench.
24:59So he's going to come back in plenty of time to get to 20 points.
25:03And for those wondering, he's had 12 games this year
25:05when he scored 10 or more points in the fourth quarter.
25:08He needs 10 to keep the streak going
25:11and push it to 128 in a row with 20 points.
25:17That was on Joe.
25:18That is his second.
25:19Reid gets the first foul shot.
25:26He'll just Alexander's played 28 minutes so far in the game.
25:31But this isn't the first time he's had a rough three quarters,
25:36as we just documented.
25:37Yet the Thunders still find ways to win those games.
25:39Yeah, plus I think about the five assists,
25:42the couple rebounds.
25:45You know, I don't think they have him credited for a blocked shot,
25:48which I feel like he's got a couple of them.
25:50Yeah, he definitely had two.
25:52That's got to be a mistake.
25:54Three-pointer from McCain is no good.
25:56Rebound Randall.
25:57Three on one.
25:58In the open floor, Highland blew the layup,
26:00and then Reid could not control it.
26:02Out of bounds to the Thunder.
26:04That one hurts.
26:12Four-point lead, and it's 40 into the fourth quarter.
26:16The Thunder trying to run the win streak to eight.
26:19It's their longest streak since they won 16 to get the 24-and-1.
26:22Nice pass through, home run by Mitchell.
26:25Yeah, and Mitchell was under duress.
26:27Like, Jaden McDaniels is an excellent defensive player.
26:30He was applying all kinds of pressure.
26:34Minnesota had a seven-point lead late in the third
26:37as Hartenstein and Reid collide, and Reid really hurt.
26:43Did he hit the stanchion with his shoulder?
26:53Pecum Center goes absolutely silent.
27:02Hartenstein over there after he picked up his second foul to make sure Reid's okay
27:08as he gets helped up from a couple teammates for the applause of the crowd.
27:14A titular face there with that left arm by Hartenstein.
27:23I mean, it gets him across the face, then the, you know, momentum carries him right into the stanchion.
27:38And a quiet afternoon for Reid, just four points, and he hasn't made a threes, one of the top bench
27:44scorers in the NBA.
27:46We've got a special Monday ESPN Hockey Night doubleheader with Boston and New Jersey.
27:52Skating at seven, followed by the Penguins and Avs, also available on the ESPN app, Colorado with the NHL's best
27:59record looking to capture the President's Trophy.
28:09Reid gets them both, and it's back to a four-point game.
28:12It's interesting to see how much time Rudy Gobert gets down the stretch.
28:16Typically, they struggle defensively in the non-Rudy minutes.
28:20It's been a rough afternoon for him.
28:22So if Nas can hold up defensively, do they finish there?
28:28McDaniels playing with four fouls, and Holmgren scores over it.
28:3719 points now for Chet Holmgren to lead the Thunder in scoring.
28:42Randall spinning on Hardenstein, caught in the air and turns it over.
28:4620th giveaway by Minnesota to just five for the Thunder.
28:50Mitchell, great look.
28:51Caught in traffic by Holmgren.
28:53Hardenstein behind the back to McCain, who buries a three!
29:06Things change in a quick, swiftly, often here in Oklahoma City.
29:10A seven-point lead is now a nine-point deficit, and McDaniels can't hit the three.
29:14Just his third shot at 10 to the game.
29:16Isaiah Joe gave the little cornet contest in the corner.
29:21That's where you jump out, even if you're 20 feet away from him.
29:24Joe, double clutch and connect in the lane.
29:28Timeout, Minnesota, the lead up to 11 for the Thunder.
29:32Just caliber depth is incredible.
29:36Just, it doesn't all have to come from one guy.
29:40What a pickup Jared McCain has been.
29:43How about the little touch behind the back pass?
29:47Shea Gildas Alexander, the councilman pro, knows his teammates are giving him a lift.
29:52Look at the excitement.
29:57NBA Sunday Showcase on ABC is presented by Popeyes.
30:01Love that chicken from...
30:03...letter starting at 7 Eastern from Boston.
30:05The Warriors and Celtics followed by the Lakers in Houston.
30:07L.A. has won five in a row.
30:09NBA Countdown starts us off at 6.30 Eastern time.
30:12Turnovers and points off turnovers right now.
30:15The difference in the game.
30:16Look at that.
30:1623 to 4 points off turnovers in favor of OKC with 12 steals.
30:24Anthony Edwards back in the game.
30:26Just four points in the quarter for Minnesota.
30:28They trail them up by 11, the largest deficit of the day.
30:33Edwards bumped.
30:34No basket, but he will shoot two.
30:37And Chet very frustrated.
30:39If you notice, if Anthony gets the corner turned, what's the first thing he sees?
30:45The next closest defender's body.
30:48And Mark is literally, I think, trying to take a hard look at this to see if they should challenge
30:53the shot.
30:53See, they're going to try to show him a crowd.
30:57And that drive left, try to draw contact, is something we've seen before.
31:03And so Anthony Edwards gets the benefit of that whistle there.
31:07There's four of seven at the free throw line.
31:11Third team foul on the Thunder.
31:12None yet in Minnesota here.
31:15In this final frame.
31:1716 points for Edwards coming off a 42-point game.
31:21A 36 the previous game only once in his NBA career as he had three straight 35-point games.
31:28Doesn't appear that today's going to be the second time as he misses another foul shot.
31:33It's four for eight.
31:35Oh, stop it.
31:36Swishes through a three-pointer.
31:39Isaiah Hartenstein just showing off right now.
31:42Puts that pass between his legs to an easy three.
31:47The slam by Gobert.
31:49How about the pickup by Sam Presti?
31:52Jared McCain for another team's first-round pick and multiple second-round picks.
31:57You get McCain, a guy that showed flashes of being a star early last year in Philly before injury.
32:05Joe gives it up to Hartenstein.
32:07Behind the back again.
32:09Joe driving, beats the cutting Holmgren.
32:11Kept alive.
32:12Two to shoot.
32:13Mitchell gets it away.
32:16Battered around.
32:17Pinballs to Holmgren.
32:19And then a foul on Randall.
32:21His fourth.
32:22So Hartenstein for the second consecutive year.
32:25They're giving him all kinds of love.
32:27When you deliver this kind of pass, you know your teammates can appreciate it.
32:31He had the behind-the-back drop pass to McCain for a three earlier in the game.
32:36And Shea Gilgis-Alexander going to say, ooh, look at how pretty that is.
32:41It's so good.
32:43Now, Hartenstein's a very underrated passer.
32:46He averages about three assists per game.
32:48Does a lot of the dirty work.
32:50Had six early offensive rebounds in this game.
32:53An 11-point advantage for the Thunder with SGA still on the bench and still at 10 points.
33:0010 away from keeping the streak alive.
33:02Banked in three by Mitchell.
33:05He gave a little MJ shrug.
33:07I do not think he called bank.
33:09And it is a Sunday, so they're definitely not open.
33:12Randall driving.
33:13Circus shot.
33:14Nobody was fouled.
33:16But, again, you go back to a team like Oklahoma City winning a championship with this great nucleus, terrific chemistry.
33:24Any move you make, you've got to do as much work on the person as you do the player.
33:29And Sam Pressy, now with Bob Myers, no longer GM, has the best GM hair in the league.
33:34Did a terrific job going out and adding Jared McCain.
33:38I might sense a little note of envy from my partner.
33:42Not just a little.
33:45Well, so this is, the bank is open on a Sunday afternoon for A.J. Mitchell.
33:50He gave the little shrug and he's going to give a second one like, yeah, you know what, I just
33:54do it like that.
33:56But to your point about Sam, like, understanding early quality depth, you know, especially with the pace of the game,
34:04is just critical.
34:05And being able to navigate the restrictions of the salary cap all, all of the times they have drafted well,
34:14right, very few misses in the draft, savvy midseason pickup, as you noted, with McCain.
34:19I mean, just, just a really well-run organization.
34:22And give the league credit for setting up a system that gives these a chance.
34:26Right on cue is McCain.
34:28He can't miss right now.
34:30He's five of seven from three.
34:34They were down seven late in the third.
34:36Now they're up 15.
34:37And the bench has 57 of the 100 points.
34:41Dave Vincenzo answers for three.
34:44This is a, this is an important moment, right?
34:47I mean, before that win against Golden State, it was three straight losses by a combined 66 points.
34:56So you've got to find somebody to get a little fight and keep the pressure on Oklahoma City right here
35:02if you're Minnesota.
35:03Yeah, because if they lose, they're just a game in the loss column out of the play-in as Gilgis
35:08Alexander puts up an air ball on the three.
35:10He is three for 17.
35:12He's having his worst game of the season, maybe his worst game in two seasons, and they're still up double
35:18figures.
35:21He's 0 for his last six.
35:24And six minutes to go to extend the streak to 128 consecutive 20-point games.
35:33Randall has it poked away but gathers it back.
35:37Bruce is saying, I didn't touch it, so it should have been a turnover on Randall.
35:42Shot clock down to five.
35:45Dave Vincenzo rocking it and has his pocket picked.
35:48A turnover.
35:50It's number 21 for Minnesota.
35:52Gilgis Alexander downhill now up to 12 points.
36:11Case on ABC presented by Popeyes.
36:14Well, Mr. McCain, you said it.
36:16He can't miss right now.
36:17He's done that right to left into that top of the key three a couple of times.
36:23Just a dead sprint.
36:26Concentration in the face of the DeSumo rearview contest.
36:30And watch Jalen Williams' reaction from the bench.
36:34It's going to be, oh, my God.
36:38He cannot believe how hot Jared McCain has been.
36:42Five of seven for McCain, now 35 threes in 16 games played.
36:48And how about the bench for the Thunder?
36:5111 of their 14 threes have come from the reserves.
36:5457 points outscoring the starters.
36:58Starters have 45.
37:00And just 12 for Shea Gilgis-Alexander,
37:03whose streak of 127 straight 20-point games and NBA record is in jeopardy
37:08as Edwards is fouled.
37:11And the Thunder over the limit,
37:13so that's one way that Minnesota can get back in the game.
37:16But Edwards is 4 of 8 at the line.
37:18Boy, they're going to make him play in the crowd.
37:21You just saw it.
37:22How about Casey Wallace?
37:24Like, these fast hands.
37:27Just incredibly fast hands.
37:30We showed you that graphic of the assist next to the poor shooting
37:34as Edwards misses another free throw for Shea Gilgis-Alexander.
37:37So, not having a good day as a score,
37:41but 10 assists and no turnovers.
37:48One of two for Edwards, 17 points.
37:51Still plenty of time.
37:53Five and a half to go and a 13-point game.
37:56I mean, I know he hasn't shot well,
37:58but, boy, has his mind stayed right where it's needed to be.
38:06Working here on Desumu,
38:08trying to create space with that step back,
38:10and he's got it.
38:1114 points down.
38:12A little smile crosses his face.
38:15Listen, he can percolate quick.
38:27He's just made so many plays on the defensive end.
38:31Such respect for this young man.
38:34Tough shooting night, streak on the line.
38:37The guy's just doing all the right things.
38:39They talk about his consistency.
38:41This is what they're talking about.
38:43Circumstances may be not all going his way individually,
38:46but where's his head at?
38:48It's with the group.
38:49As coach Mark Daytonalt says,
38:51yes, he wants to be one of the greats,
38:52but he also wants to be one of the guys.
38:54In terms of how he talks to his teammates,
38:57his availability for the young players,
38:59how he navigates the locker room.
39:01Let's hear it!
39:02He's as consistent as anybody in the NBA
39:04at everything he does.
39:06He can make two shots and get a 20.
39:08There's his first turnover.
39:10And then Edwards has it ripped away by Caruso,
39:13who's fouled on the other end.
39:15For Alex Caruso,
39:16and how he impacts the game defensively,
39:19we see it time in, time out.
39:22As Edwards is a little shaken up.
39:24So Mark Degno talks about,
39:26if Alex is going to play 15 minutes or 12,
39:28you are going to get a completely locked-in guy
39:32for the entire time he's on the floor.
39:36His ability to stay in the present moment
39:39is at the top of the list.
39:41Fourth foul on Edwards.
39:44And Caruso adds another point.
39:47That's 16 now.
39:50McCain to the bench.
39:52An ovation from the crowd.
40:05Bunderhead out on the road after this,
40:07five straight away from Oklahoma City,
40:10starting Tuesday at Orlando.
40:13They play the Lakers twice.
40:15They have to play the Pistons again.
40:17They go to Boston.
40:17They just beat the Celtics here on Thursday.
40:23Trying to make it eight straight wins
40:25and 11 of 12 since the All-Star break
40:27with a win today.
40:28They're up 15, four and a half to go.
40:30Ran along the attack.
40:31And a foul that will send him to the line
40:33where he's five of six.
40:39Third foul on Gilgis Alexander.
40:43Now Minnesota had moments in this game.
40:46They've had moments in this season.
40:47But you look at their record
40:50and at 41 and 26
40:52after 49 wins last year.
40:54Now they made the conference finals last year
40:56to spike in the 60.
40:57Do you see right now,
40:59given the inconsistencies,
41:01a contender?
41:02No, I do not.
41:04And the inconsistencies can span over games
41:07or inside of a game as it has today.
41:12And they are one of a handful of teams
41:16that there's a tremendous variance
41:17between the best and worst of them.
41:20You see it with the New York Knicks.
41:22You see it with the Houston Rockets.
41:25Aside from, you know, San Antonio,
41:30OKC, Boston is remarkably consistent
41:33in terms of their level.
41:35Detroit, another team that's consistent.
41:38Their offense can worry me.
41:39But no, not yet.
41:41That is the concerning thing about Minnesota.
41:44The lows for the Wolves are really low.
41:46Giving up 153 to the Clippers
41:49as they turn it over.
41:50Love to Holman for the flush.
41:58Well, Minnesota turned it on
42:00in the postseason last year.
42:01They're certainly capable and talented enough.
42:04And they have a great coaching staff.
42:05As Randall kicks to the corner,
42:07DiVincenzo's three is on target.
42:10Back within 12, three and a half to go.
42:1516 points for DiVincenzo, four three-pointers.
42:18He also has nine rebounds.
42:21In the Wolves' defense,
42:22which is 11th this year
42:24after being number one two years ago
42:26and 60 years ago,
42:28can they get stops?
42:30Gildas Alexander for three.
42:32Hit it!
42:3417 now for SGA.
42:36Three away from continuing the streak.
42:40Dasumu caught in the air.
42:41Bad turnover.
42:43And Caruso will slow it down
42:45and wait for some help
42:46and Reid commits the foul.
42:49So let's watch
42:50a little alley-oop action.
42:54Kaysan Wallace
42:55and then watch
42:57Shea Gildas Alexander
42:58in this play.
42:59He is going to point like
43:01get it to Chet.
43:03Don't worry about Mike 20.
43:05But then marching
43:06ever so closer to 20.
43:08One more shot
43:09if he hits another three.
43:13Mitchell penetrates.
43:15Floor is no good.
43:16Mitchell hits the deck.
43:18Numbers for Minnesota
43:19if the Wolves hurry up the floor.
43:22Down 15.
43:23Nice spin by Reid.
43:25Can't finish with the left hand.
43:26Holmgren clears.
43:28Nine boards for Holmgren.
43:31Is this the crowd
43:33recognizing where Shea is
43:35because they're starting
43:35to stand here.
43:39Two and a half to go.
43:45Mitchell at the elbow.
43:46His lob knocked away.
43:47Reid with a good defensive play.
43:50Can't just assume
43:51that lob is there.
43:52They enter to the elbow.
43:54They expect that.
43:55It's been well scouted
43:57by Minnesota.
43:58Power move by Randall.
44:0232 for Randall.
44:05Two minutes to go.
44:0713-point game.
44:08Don't put Gilgis-Alexander
44:10off the ball here.
44:11Edwards defending him.
44:16Yeah, not sure SGA cares
44:18much about whether
44:18he gets 20 or not.
44:21We saw that highlight,
44:23as you mentioned,
44:24pointing to throw the lob.
44:26And the basket is good.
44:27And the foul.
44:28He may not care about it,
44:29but he's about to get it.
44:31He'll go to the line
44:31to try to get the 20 once again.
44:35See, the basketball gods
44:37reward you.
44:39He's kept his head
44:40in it all day.
44:42He's 7 for 22.
44:44And he's telling his point guard
44:46and backcourt mate,
44:47hold it,
44:48because we're trying to use clock.
44:50And then under the rest of the clock,
44:52and a guy who's been in his chest all day,
44:55he does that.
44:57And do you think this guy is beloved?
44:59Look at that reaction.
45:01That is so fabulous.
45:04Come on now, Dave.
45:05The basketball gods are saying,
45:07young man,
45:08you've kept your head in it.

45:13You've earned this 20.
45:17one-hundred-and-twenty-eight
45:19consecutive 20-point games,
45:22an NBA record extended.
45:25And a timeout with the Thunder,

45:49I'm so happy for this young man.
45:52Seriously,
45:53for a guy who sets the tone
45:55with a level of professionalism
45:58every single day,
45:59to take this all the way
46:01to the fourth,
46:03I mean,
46:03he is special.
46:05Not only as a player,
46:06but as a young man.
46:07That is,
46:07that's the basketball gods saying,
46:09that is just the right thing.
46:11Minnesota has conceded,
46:13emptying the bench here
46:14in the final 90 seconds.
46:16So the Thunder will win
46:17its eighth straight game,
46:1911 of 12,
46:20since the All-Star break.
46:21Joe Whitney,
46:22dunk,
46:23Wallace the final.
46:25Thunder will improve
46:26to 53-15,
46:28the NBA's best
46:29record.
46:30Minnesota drops
46:31to 41-27,
46:32and they lose the tiebreaker
46:34with Denver.
46:35Plus,
46:35they're only a game ahead
46:36of Phoenix
46:37for the sixth spot,
46:38and right now they lose
46:40the tiebreaker
46:40with the Sun.
46:41So the Wolves in danger
46:43if they don't
46:43find themselves
46:45down the stretch
46:46of potentially being
46:47in the play-in tournament.
46:48They had a nine-point lead
46:50in this game,
46:51and now trail by 15.
46:52That was mid-third quarter
46:53when they had that lead.
46:54Yeah,
46:54but don't you think
46:55that's when the game changed,
46:56when the pressure
46:57from Oklahoma City
46:59turned up?
47:01And how about this,
47:01128 straight games
47:03with 20 or more,
47:04the next 10 players,
47:06130 combined,
47:07and Kawhi Leonard
47:07has 45 of those.
47:09He's got the second-longest
47:10active streak.
47:11Yeah,
47:11you try to put context
47:13on the consistent greatness
47:15that he's done.
47:16That's as good
47:17as you can do
47:18besides what Katie
47:18talked about,
47:19which is the winning game.
47:21Like,
47:22yeah,
47:22it's 128 consecutive,
47:24but it's also done
47:25through winning.
47:27Throwdown there
47:28makes it a 13-point game.
47:31During the streak,
47:32Oklahoma City
47:33is now 104-24.
47:34You contrast that
47:36with what the Warriors
47:37did in the early 60s
47:39during Wilt Chamberlain's
47:40streak
47:40of 126 in a row.
47:43They were 66-60,
47:45so just six games
47:46over 500.
47:47Oklahoma City's
47:49100 games
47:50over 500
47:51during this streak.
47:52That's insane.
47:56Joe on the step back.
47:57Reno good.
48:00Kept alive, though,
48:01by Williams.
48:01McCain again!
48:03Rebound,
48:04Clark.
48:05Minnesota will head home,
48:08play Phoenix
48:08on Tuesday night.
48:10Just 14 games left
48:13for the Wolves.
48:16See if they can find
48:17some of that magic
48:18from the postseason
48:21of the last two years.
48:23Clark's three,
48:24no good,
48:24but a foul.
48:26No foul.
48:27They're going to say
48:28legal contact,
48:30ball out of bounds.
48:313.4 seconds left.
48:34But, you know what?
48:36You got Julius Randle
48:37back to the level
48:39you need him at,
48:40and that's a big step
48:42in the right direction.
48:44Now, can he sustain it?
48:4732 points for Randle,
48:49but just 19 for Edwards.
48:516 of 17 shooting
48:52and 5 missed free throws.
48:55Shot clock violation.
48:57Oklahoma City will just
48:58have to inbound.
49:05under improved to 29 and 6 at home.
49:08They've won 7 straight.
49:11Here at KCON,
49:13an 8 straight overall
49:14with a 116-103 win.
49:18impressive from the,
49:19from the,
49:20uh,
49:21six-minute mark
49:22and down to that third period.
49:23Their defense
49:24changed this game.
49:27Why they've been the best
49:29team,
49:30had the best defense
49:31the last couple years.
49:33And it really showed up there
49:35from the middle
49:35of the third quarter on.
49:45Thunder improved to 53 and 15.
49:48Another 20-point game
49:49for Shea Gildas-Alexander,
49:51who's with Katie.
49:52Thanks, Dave.
49:52Shea,
49:53that was a hard-earned 20
49:54to get,
49:55keep the streak alive.
49:56What can you say about your day
49:58and just staying the course
49:59throughout it?
50:00Yeah, uh,
50:03at the end of the day
50:03is basketball.
50:05I went out there
50:06with the same aggression
50:06I do every night.
50:08More shots didn't fall
50:09tonight than do.
50:10And usually that's not the case.
50:12Um,
50:12but some nights go your way,
50:13some nights don't.
50:14Regardless,
50:15I feel like I contributed
50:16enough for us,
50:17for our team to get a W,
50:18and that's first and foremost.
50:19Walk out of here with a W,
50:20good homestand,
50:21or we gotta get ready
50:21for the road trip.
50:22Chet,
50:23what does it say
50:23about your MVP?
50:25Chet,
50:25what does it say
50:26about your MVP
50:26that even when his shot
50:27wasn't falling early,
50:28he was still impacting
50:29the games in other ways?
50:30We see that every night.
50:32Uh,
50:32you know,
50:32it might just get overshined
50:33by all the scoring
50:34that he does.
50:36You know,
50:36he just wanted to keep
50:37the game suspenseful
50:38for y'all,
50:38and, uh,
50:39you know,
50:39we had a great one tonight.
50:41Chet was a driving force,
50:42obviously,
50:43but your bench was fantastic.
50:44Over 60 points
50:45from those guys.
50:46What can you say about them?
50:47Yeah,
50:47they came ready to play.
50:49Um,
50:50that's our secret weapon.
50:52Uh,
50:52we're so deep.
50:53So many guys
50:53that go out there
50:54and make a difference.
50:55So many guys
50:55that impact the game
50:56at a high level.
50:57tonight we needed it,
50:58and tonight they came,
50:59they came through for us.
51:00Great job,
51:01keeping it going.
51:01Congrats.
51:0310 through the first,
51:04three quarters,
51:0410 in the fourth,
51:05for the reigning MVP
51:07and perhaps the 2026 MVP
51:11as well.
51:12As the Thunder
51:13improved to 53 and 15,
51:16the NBA's best record,
51:18116-103.
