Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 2: The Surprising Strategy That Could Flip the Western Conference Finals Overnight
The picture is less certain for the Wolves. Their second unit has to find a way to take pressure off Edwards, and that starts with making shots. Donte DiVincenzo, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Reid combined to shoot 5 for 28 from 3 in Game 1. The bench doesn’t need to win Minnesota the game, but it has to give them a chance to manage Edwards’ workload and punish OKC when the defense overcommits.
And then there’s identity under pressure. The Thunder are deep, tenacious and relentless. Their defense wears teams down over the course of a game, and OKC rarely blinks first. That kind of sustained pressure – not just in moments but across 48 minutes – is what makes the Thunder so difficult to break.
