US EditionOklahoma City Thunder beat Minnesota Timberwolves to win Western Conference and reach NBA Finals
- On Wednesday, the Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves 124-94 to clinch the Western Conference title in five games, securing their first trip to the NBA Finals since 2012.
- This achievement follows a rebuild after losing Kevin Durant in 2016 and a period when the team ranked near the league’s bottom four years ago.
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 34 points, while Chet Holmgren added 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks alongside Jalen Williams’ 19 points and 8 rebounds.
- The Timberwolves managed to convert just over 40% of their shots and lost possession 21 times, with coach Chris Finch noting the team struggled to establish a consistent flow and depended too heavily on individual plays.
- Having secured their spot in the NBA Finals, the Thunder will compete against either the Pacers or the Knicks starting June 5 in Oklahoma City, while the Timberwolves face a period of reflection and adjustment during the offseason.
