Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 2: The Surprising Strategy That Could Flip the Western Conference Finals Overnight
For Minnesota, the second half exposed familiar issues. The Timberwolves couldn’t create consistent advantages offensively. Anthony Edwards, crowded and loaded up on every touch, never found a flow. The Wolves shot just 29.4% from 3 and were often left stagnant on the second side. Their defense, which had carried them through much of the postseason, couldn’t withstand the compounding pressure – and OKC’s depth exposed it.
The Thunder’s bench was identified as one of their advantages coming into the series, and in Game 1, it showed up in a big way. Kenrich Williams, the latest two-way contributor to leave a mark, provided the spark in the third quarter. He changed the tone of the game with his energy, screening, and activity on both ends.
