The Minnesota Timberwolves failed to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder despite Dario Saric’s big night.

Dario Saric was on a role on Sunday, but wasn’t enough for the Minnesota Timberwolves against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 25-year-old Croatian forward made an NBA 2018-19 Regular Season personal-best five three-pointers en route for his season-high 23 points, but his team was defeated at the Target Center.

No playoffs this year for the Timberwolves that will conclude their season hosting the Toronto Raptors and facing the Denver Nuggets on the road. Saric, however, is on the rise after scoring in double-digits in nine of his ten last games since late March up to his season-high performance versus the Thunder.
