Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 2: The Surprising Strategy That Could Flip the Western Conference Finals Overnight
Edwards, meanwhile, has to be moved around – off pindowns, ghost screens, and/or empty-side action – to keep OKC’s defense from loading up early in the clock. Defensively, the Wolves need to show SGA different looks to keep him off balance – and maybe mix in some zone.
That’s easier said than done. Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 34.2 points and 7.2 assists against the Timberwolves this season. He’s scored 30 or more in four of the five meetings, and while this is the best defense he’s faced in the playoffs, there’s little question he’s going to be productive.
