The Oklahoma City Thunder snapped a mini two-game losing streak on Wednesday night in a 109-99 win over Portland at the Paycom Center.

OKC needed a good fourth quarter to pull away from the Trail Blazers. The Thunder had to get 39-points over the final 12 minutes with a good final five minutes to get the win.

The biggest news was the debut of Isiah Hartenstein at center. Hartenstein had been injured for the first three regular season weeks.

He made a difference at both ends. 

After the injury to Chet Holmgren the addition of Hartenstein is much-needed down low. He had 14 rebounds in 28 minutes on Friday night.

OKC is 12-4 and is now off until Monday.
