The Thunder have 14, but it's really the Wolves' offense that's winning.

OKC's offense depends a lot on their defense.

If you don't let their defense create points, you have a good chance.

Yup...Thunder are a completely different team when forced to play in the half court.

OKC swipes and reaches so much you could probably just drive into a help defender and sweep your arms and get a call every time if the refs felt generous

These games have been putrid.

Don’t let this Minnesota team gain confidence with a blowout victory. This could easily go back to OKC 2-2

1st quarters hasn’t really meant anything in these playoffs. Hopefully the Wolves have enough steam to pull it through because OKC is a great second half team.

I told ya'll that the Thunder is not some kind of unbeatable juggernaut some people seem to think they are. They have flaws, just like every team.

Ant has been very good in last 2 games...his 3 shot wasn't falling last game but his decision making has been very good in both last 2 games

It's amazing how good Gobert looks if Wolves can generate offense when he is on the floor.

Important for Minnesot to keep this up especially on defense. MUST play OKC super physical, maybe borderline dirty just to send that message for the rest of the series.
