Winning is hard won, and winning in a row is even more enjoyable.

Especially after losing in a row, this three wins in a row is very important to thunder. Both the players' psychology and public opinion have been greatly improved, and the depression of three consecutive defeats was swept away.

However, the hard race is about to start again. From the 14th, thunder's players will be out for 12 consecutive days, playing six away games.

And their opponents are quite strong. The clippers, the warriors, and the Jazz are all the top teams in the West. It's hard to get out of everything.

Before leaving, Oklahoma made a detailed physical examination of the players. After all, the schedule is close to half, and various injuries emerge in an endless stream. Many teams that want to make a difference in the playoffs pay special attention to the health of their players. Even many teams have begun to rotate players.

Donovan didn't want to do that. But before the start of this long road trip, he has to check his players for health risks.

On January 14, thunder visited Minnesota to challenge the Timberwolves. Despite the absence of Raven, the Timberwolves have been in good shape recently. In the last game, they managed to limit harden and win. Now, the momentum is strong.

However, before the confrontation, thunder all laughed to the end. After all, their strength is still better.

Unfortunately, this time, the Timberwolves did not become husky again. Under the excellent performance of Downes and Rubio, thunder had to accept a failure.

In the first quarter, the Timberwolves played very strong. Downes, in particular, is not afraid of Adams. He can play hard under the basket, three points outside and block rebounds. If Anluo didn't score six points in the last minute, they would have been two digits ahead of thunder.

In the second section, the two sides sent out the replacement lineup. Anluo began to attack, a wave of 10-0 will be the score. Especially when he faced with beliza's record of ultra far three points, it instantly ignited the momentum of thunder.

At half-time, the Timberwolves were 8 points behind the thunder 52-60. According to their usual style, the third quarter should collapse. Unfortunately, today's Timberwolves are not normal. They played the most beautiful quarter of the season so far in the third quarter. Fierce defense, sharp breakthrough and accurate shooting.

First of all, Downes even shot with a penalty to cut 7 points, Rubio followed by the middle shot hit, and instead of Raven starting rush three points, the Timberwolves played a wave of 13:0, regained the advantage.

On the defensive side, with the successful experience of limiting harden in the last game, Westbrook, whose focus was "taking care of", made six mistakes. The whole team's attack was in chaos. It's just a drop in the bucket for ANLO to throw those three-point goals.

In the fourth quarter, Westbrook assists Anluo into two points, reaching a triple double. But it has not been able to reverse the situation. With two minutes left in the game, after covering for Wiggins, Downes pulled out the top of the arc to hit three points, re opened the difference to double digits, but also killed the game.

In the end, thunder's six consecutive passenger trip started with a failure. Westbrook's "four pairs" has become a joke of countless people on this night. The Timberwolves' defensive strategy to thunder also points out a direction for other teams to explore.

Cut off Westbrook from the other players. As long as he can't pass the ball as he likes, the defense is successful. After all, as the leader of the team and the number one position, the ball right must be concentrated on Westbrook.

ANLO's three-point goal is accurate, but if you can't get the ball, there's no way. In this game, ANLO and Cantor have played well enough with their substitutes!

After leaving Minnesota, thunder raced to Sacramento. It's their second away game of the season against Sacramento, and the last time it didn't end well.

In that scene, koshins broke up the thunder's inside group by himself. Although Westbrook led the outside line crazy attack, finally defeated.

This time, cousins is still outstanding. 31 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. However, the game is the same as the previous days of nuggets, both sides are not very defensive, but play a counter attack.

So, from the data point of view, King's players played very well in the game. In addition to Corzine, Rudy Gay had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Darren collison had 21 points and Anthony toliver had 10 points.

But thunder played better.

Westbrook is still versatile. In addition to the three-point ball is not very accurate, he is high in the middle distance and under the basket scoring. Of course, the assists and rebounds didn't fall. After three quarters, he was only two rebounds short of the triple double.

On the offensive side of the performance is more prominent is Anluo. He had a hot shot today. After the second half of the first quarter, he hit three points in a row at the right 45 degree angle.

Thanks to the king's loose defense, ANLO was easy to pitch. Tylawson, who was opposite to him, gave him a big step, even if he didn't want to shoot.

In the last quarter, Westbrook, oladibo and ANLO played at the same time. In the lead of nearly 10 points, a wave of 26:5 to open the difference to 30 points! The game has entered garbage time.In the end, thunder beat the king very strongly away from home, avoiding a losing streak.

Westbrook made his 20th triple double of the season. He had 36 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals. In addition to him, Anluo had 28 points, Orlando had 20 points, Kanter had 22 points and 12 rebounds, and Adams had 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Facts have proved that the thunder, which has let go of its hands and feet, has no weaker attack than other strong teams. And the most terrible thing is that the thunder still retains its own tough defense.

The next day, thunder went to Los Angeles to fight the Clippers again.

Prior to that, the Clippers had won six games in a row under Paul. Thunder beat King yesterday, but inside pillar Adams was injured accidentally and missed the game. Without Adams, thunder's interior is tight. They have no way to limit little Jordan, can only let him do what he wants.

Westbrook's play was also affected. Rivers was obviously inspired by the Timberwolves, who cut off Westbrook from his teammates and forced him to score in individual singles.

Under Paul's leadership, thunder has been in a passive situation. At the end of the second quarter, Paul was injured and became the turning point of the game.

Without Paul, the Clippers could no longer withstand the thunder. Although Felton and Jordan Jr. played well, they still couldn't change the ending.

In the end, thunder seized the opportunity to reverse the game. He won two consecutive victories.
