Timberwolves vs. Thunder Game 2: Who Holds the Secret Edge to Dominate the 2025 Western Conference Finals?

However, if the T-Wolves get that many more wide-open looks in Game 2, they are covering the spread. Minnesota was fourth in 3-point shooting rate during the regular season and sixth defensively. Since games get away from teams that chuck as many threes as the Timberwolves, I’m not overreacting to their 26-point loss on Tuesday. 

Also, I could see Shai getting fewer foul calls on Thursday because everyone calls him a “foul merchant.” Perhaps the officiating crew for Game 2 will make it their mission to not get baited by SGA into blowing the whistle. Or maybe the T-Wolves make defensive adjustments. Edwards, Timberwolves wing Jaden McDaniels, and C Rudy Gobert are elite defenders.
