Al Jefferson had 13 points and a game-high nine rebounds, as the Minnesota Timberwolves downed Oklahoma City, 88-82, in preseason action.

It was the first preseason contest for the Thunder since the franchise, then known as the SuperSonics, was moved from Seattle after last season. But the club's first appearance as the Thunder was a losing one.

Rashad McCants led Minnesota with 15 points, while Corey Brewer notched 11 points, and Kevin Love and Rodney Carney had 10 apiece.

Damien Wilkins scored 19 to lead Oklahoma City, while Chris Wilcox contributed 17 points.
