26 points defeat! The Timberwolves collapsed in the West Final G1, the Thunder slaughtered the Timberwolves 114-88! Huazi only 18 points

G1 in the 2025 NBA Western Conference Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 114-88 at home, and announced to the league with a 26-point massacre that this young army is definitely not a lucky break into the Western Conference Finals!

Shay Gilgers-Alexander (SGA) scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, while Timberwolves core Anthony Edwards (Huazi) scored only 18 points, with a shooting percentage of less than 38.5%, completely lost under the Thunder's iron wall.

Thunder showed terrifying firepower in this game. Except for SGA:

Jaylen Williams (Jeway) contributed 19 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and had a lot of breakthrough lethality;

Chet Holmgren (Chate) 15 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, suppressing the Timberwolves inside on both ends of offense and defense;

In contrast, the Timberwolves completely collapsed on the offensive end, with only 2 players scoring double-digit points, Edwards scored 18 points (56 of 13 shots), 31 of 8 three-pointers, with a plus-minus value-23; Randall scored 28 points, completely disappeared after 20 points in the half;

Except him, the rest of them made 14 of 57 shots, with a shooting percentage of 24.5%. Among them, Reed made 1 of 11 shots and 0 of 7 three-pointers; Divinchenzo made 3 of 14 shots and 3 of 12 three-pointers; the two made 5 of 25 shots and 3 of 19 three-pointers.

It's a terrible sight.

Although the Thunder were in average form in the first half, they suddenly woke up in the second half and scored a total of 70 points in the second half, while the Timberwolves only scored 40 points. The Thunder shot 50% from the field and 52.4% from three-point shooting percentage, while the Timberwolves were only 34.9% + 29.4%, and were completely suppressed on both ends of offense and defense.

In this game, the Timberwolves had no choice against Alexander. Although the shooting percentage was average, he still scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, and 3 steals with all-around data.

G1's crushing defeat exposed the Timberwolves' fatal shortcomings - the outside ball holding point was insufficient and the offense was too dependent on Huazi's singles. If the strategy cannot be adjusted in G2, the series may lose its suspense quickly.

, and the Thunder proved with a big victory that their goal is not only the Western Conference Finals, but also the championship!
