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...
