Looks like OKC have adjusted their defense well, there is a reason Divincenzo is forcing it so much

This is a dangerous spot for Minny being down this big early they gotta get stops ASAP before OKC runs away with this

You mean where he hit SGA's elbow and caused him to lose the ball? The refs are going to call those sorts of obvious fouls every time.

The Wolves need to match the intensity by the Thunder, and rebound the ball. Just cannot give up multiple looks to a team like the Thunder if you want to win.

How? They have 7 TOs and OKC is shooting 50% from 3. They’re down 7.
They shouldn’t be worried especially since Ant hasn’t started making an impact while SGA has.

ANT’s carry is a shooting foul for Shai

only up 7 with shai/Jdub hitting everything and Minny making too many turnovers is a not a great sign for us.
Gonna come down to how Dort is capable of guarding Edwards during 48 minutes

OKC's strategy was to try and win the game in the 1st quarter. Hilarious stuff

Minnesota is also shooting 50% from 3. they should be worried because the refs are not calling anything which is a huge advantage for OKC

Every time?
Ya sure about that?
You telling me Caruso hasn’t caused at least one “turnover” this playoffs by bumping someone’s elbow??

Re: 2025 WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (OKC leads 2-1)
Not the ideal start for the Wolves, you're shooting 60% and still trailing by 7 points. i guess it's the turnovers so if they can clean that up maybe you have a shot at making this a close game...

Yeah the Wolves need to dominate paint. Have to attack the basket more.
