Thunder overflow Timberwolves: MVP Gilgeous-Alexander in top shape!
In the second game of the Western Conference Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder were able to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves with 118-103 and thus secure a 2-0 lead in the best-of-Seven series. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the outstanding player of the game and scored an impressive 38 points, scored 12 out of 21 walks and 13 out of 15 free attempts. His remarkable performance not only strengthened the team's victory, but also his award as an NBA Most Valuable Player, which he received on the eve of the game of Commissioner Adam Silver, as is supplemented.
On the other hand, Anthony Edwards was the best scorer for the Timberwolves with 32 points, although he only scored 12 out of 26 throws and did not receive the necessary support from his teammates in the decisive moments of the game. Julius Randle, for example, had a disappointing evening with only six points and no longer played in the last quarter. Nickeil Alexander Walker and Naz Reid also contributed with 17 or 10 points as well as 8 rebounds for the overall performance of Minnesotas.

With this victory, the Thunder go to the upcoming third game of the series, which will take place in Minneapolis on Saturday. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch was still confident and referred to the strong home record of the team from 4-1 in the playoffs. This could be crucial for the outcome of the game, especially in view of the improved performance that the Timberwolves could show in their home venue.
Gilgeous-Alexander was not only a key player for Thunder this season, but also demonstrated his dominance in the league. In total, he achieved an average of 32.7 points, 6.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the regular season. With this performance he proved to be one of the best players and was the third player in the history of the Thunder, to whom the MVP award was awarded after Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook had previously won this title, the information from nba.com .
