The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Minnesota Timberwolves for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday. The NBA playoff series will start with both teams tied at 0-0.
The Thunder are fresh off a 125-93 Game 7 win over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. Facing a Round 2 exit, the first seed destroyed the top-heavy squad. They led by as many as 43 points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored an efficient 35 points and Jalen Williams had 24 points.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves are well-rested with nearly a week off. They closed the Golden State Warriors out with a 121-110 Game 5 win last Wednesday.
