After waiting four days to uncover a challenger for the right to represent the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves descend into Oklahoma City for a heavyweight fight against the number one-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder. The stage is set for a heavyweight showdown between two teams boasting depth and tenacity on defense.
The Timberwolves drew first blood behind Jaden McDaniels, who immediately gave the Thunder pause for their decision to leave him open. McDaniels captured the first five points of the conference finals before the Timberwolves' star duo of Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle took over the reins.
