It was an intense battle at the Paycom Center as the Minnesota Timberwolves fell short, losing 113-105 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite the close game, the Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards believed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder dominated them and would not settle for a moral victory , according to the New York Times.

“I'm not a moral victory type of guy. Nah,” Edwards said to the Times. “We lost. Got our ass kicked, again, by them. I hate it. I'm just ready to play them again.”

Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 40 points, showcasing the skills that made him the MVP last season. Additionally, Isaiah Hartenstein had 15 points on 6 of 10 shooting, while Chet Holmgren added 12. It was not the typical Thunder domination. Instead, the Wolves made them work for it.
