Thunder vs. Timberwolves score, live updates: Game 4 highlights, analysis, player stats after close first half

Aaron Wiggins has played at least four-and-a-half minutes in every first half for the Oklahoma City Thunder this postseason. He was seventh on the Thunder’s roster in minutes per game this regular season and eighth in the postseason. Only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Luguentz Dort and Cason Wallace played more total minutes.

His exclusion from the rotation in this first half is a notable one. But the Thunder have been outscored by 16 points in Wiggins’ first-half minutes in this series. It’s worth noting that the Thunder also tried Jaylin Williams in the first half of Game 3, and he hasn’t played either.
