NBA Conference Semifinals: Surprising Strategies That Could Upend the Playoff Favorites
This could be the path for the Timberwolves. They finally got out of the first round last season, making it to the conference finals before losing in five games to the Dallas Mavericks.

Rudy Gobert, after a brutal first four games, dominated Game 5 with 27 points and 24 rebounds and enters the second round with his confidence back.
