After sweeping the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round, the Thunder found themselves in a tough series against the Denver Nuggets. They came back from a 2-1 deficit, eventually winning in seven games.

Oklahoma City is a young team, with Alex Caruso (30) being the only regular rotation player older than 26. Gilgeous-Alexander led the team in the Western Conference Semifinals with averages of 29.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.

The Timberwolves won 19 fewer games than the Thunder during the regular season but also had the easier path to this series, defeating both the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers in five games.

Coach Chris Finch’s rotations have been shorter during the playoffs, with only eight players appearing in more than three minutes during the Western Conference Semifinals. Edwards led the team last round with 26.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game.

During the regular season, the Timberwolves and Thunder played four times, with each team winning twice.

This is a great NBA matchup that will not disappoint; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
