If there is one concern amid an otherwise remarkable start to the season for the Timberwolves, it’s the question about the defense on the road. At home, you cannot score on the Wolves. But when Minnesota travels, it occasionally finds itself getting scorched.Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren (7) blocks a shot by Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (32) in the second half of an NBA basketball game, Tuesday, Dec. 26, 2023, in Oklahoma City. (AP Photo/Kyle Phillips)Such was the case Tuesday in Oklahoma City, as the Thunder rained down 18 triples en route to a 129-106 victory over Minnesota.The 129 points were the second-most the Wolves have relinquished all season.

Fleck requested for the backup QB to return for the bowl game because U starter Athan Kaliakmanis and third-stringer Drew Viotto both entered the transfer portal after the loss to Wisconsin in late November. Without Kramer, the U would have had to turn to true freshman walk-on Max Shikenjanski from Stillwater for Tuesday’s game.“Told him thanks for coming back,” Fleck said postgame Tuesday...
