Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 2: The Unexpected Strategy That Could Flip the Western Conference Finals
Once Minnesota fell behind, they were forced to overextend defensively. That unlocked the Thunderâs offense beyond SGA â Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams scored 13 apiece in the second half.

Imposing Their Will
