The Thunder showed no lingering effects from their emotional loss at Golden State.

Russell Westbrook scored 28 points to help Oklahoma City beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 112-92 on Saturday night.

Enes Kanter had 20 points and 10 rebounds, Steven Adams scored 14 points and Victor Oladipo added 12 for the Thunder in their first game since being blown out by Golden State and former teammate Kevin Durant on Thursday.

“We’ll take something from that game to help us learn going forward,” Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. “And it was all about us tonight. It was all about what we need to do, how we needed to play defensively, how we needed to play offensively.”

Westbrook also had eight assists and six rebounds. The Thunder improved to 5-1 on the season, matching their best six-game start since moving to Oklahoma City for the 2008-09 season.

The Thunder shot 52 percent from the field and held the Timberwolves to 39 percent shooting.

“You have to make plays,” Minnesota coach Tom Thibodeau said. “You have to move the ball side to side, and when we did that, we got good looks at the basket.”

Karl-Anthony Towns scored 33 points for the Timberwolves after scoring 32 Thursday night against Denver. He scored 25 points in the first half, but Westbrook countered with 18 to help the Thunder take a 59-53 lead into the break.

“Towns, he really played exceptionally well in the first half, and he made a lot of shots,” Donovan said. “He did it in a lot of different ways. He made 3s, he had post moves, he had face-ups. He had everything. He’s a terrific offensive player.”

No Minnesota player other than Towns reached double figures until the fourth quarter.
