Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City Thunder claimed a spot in the Play-In Tournament by going 40-42 in the regular season to finish 10th in the Western Conference.

The Thunder’s postseason push was under threat when they lost three straight games, starting with a 121-117 defeat in Indiana.

They then lost 128-118 to Phoenix before suffering a 136-125 road defeat at the hands of defending champions Golden State.

Oklahoma City were able to rebound in their final two games though, following up a 114-98 win in Utah with a 115-100 home victory against Memphis.

The Thunder then made it three-in-a-row on Wednesday night as they won 123-118 in New Orleans to advance in the Play-In Tournament.

Minnesota Timberwolves Form

Minnesota compiled a 42-40 regular season record to finish eighth in the Western Conference.

The Timberwolves ended the regular season by winning three consecutive games to bounce back from a three-game skid.

They snapped their losing sequence with a 107-102 win in Brooklyn, and followed that up with a 151-131 victory in San Antonio and a 113-108 success at home to New Orleans.

Minnesota’s win over the Pelicans was marred by ugly scenes on the bench, as Rudy Gobert punched a team-mate and was subsequently suspended for Tuesday’s Play-In game in Los Angeles.

In Gobert’s absence, the Timberwolves blew a healthy lead to lose 108-102 in overtime to the Lakers.
