The MVP is rolling. The second star is producing. Role players are excelling, and the Oklahoma City Thunder are two victories from their first NBA Finals appearance since 2012.
The Thunder toppled the Minnesota Timberwolves 118-103 in Game 2 Thursday for a 2-0 series lead.
It’s just two games, and Minnesota has yet to play at home, but it’s a lopsided series with the Thunder’s strengths shining and the Timberwolves’ flaws exposed.
Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who won his first MVP Wednesday, had 38 points, eight assists, three rebounds and three steals, and All-Star Jalen Williams was one of three Thunder players with at least 20 points.
