The Oklahoma City Thunder lost the fourth quarter 41-19 and fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves 131-128 in its first overtime game of the season. Anthony Edwards blocked Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's layup attempt with 13 seconds remaining in overtime.

With the win, the Wolves snap a two-game skid and inch closer to the LA Clippers for the sixth spot in the West.
