It’s been a long 19-hour day that started with a 4:30 a.m. wakeup call in Minneapolis this morning, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet.’

Wolves avenged their loss here at Ford Center a month ago and this time held on to win on Mike Miller’s winning shot that went down with one-tenth of a second left after the Wolves trailed by a point and led by two in the final 65 seconds. They also extended the Thunder’s losing streak to a franchise-record tying 14 games and made sure that the only team that has lost to this crew this season at least hasn’t done so twice.

Craig Smith provided 23 points off the bench on a night when Randy Wittman turned to him, Al Jefferson and Kevin Love to keep the Thunder from clobbering them on the offensive boards like they did the last time: On Nov. 2, Oklahoma City won that contest 19-9. This time, the Wolves prevailed, 13-7. Four of Smith’s eight rebounds were on the offensive boards.

The Wolves now have won three of five after losing eight of their first nine and flew home after Friday’s game to play Denver tonight at Target Center.

OK, I need some sleep. You all talk amongst yourselves…
