30 points win! Western Conference champions beat NBA record, Alexander MVP in the Western Conference Finals, bad news for the Knicks

NBA playoffs continue, with the Oxford Thunder and the Minnesota Timberwolves ushering in the fifth leg. In the game, Randle made a three-pointer first, but the Timberwolves then fell into a 5-minute scoring drought. The Thunder scored an 11-0 offensive to take the initiative. The Timberwolves scored only 9 points in a single quarter, and the Thunder seized the opportunity to lead by 17 points. In the second quarter, the Thunder's substitute made a heavy blow to widen the score difference to 20+, but no one in the Timberwolves could stand up to stop the decline. After the Thunder's main force returned to the field, the score difference went straight to 30+. After the change of sides, the Thunder's defense intensity decreased. Randall scored 13 points in a single quarter to lead the team to catch up points, but the Thunder can always respond on the offensive end, and they always maintain a lead of more than 25 points. In the final quarter, the main players of the Thunder continued to play, widening the gap to 30+ again. The Timberwolves had a chance to make the game, and they were in advance to admit defeat! In the end, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 124-94.

The Thunder team held the match point. Facing the aggressive Timberwolves, they pulled all their offense and defense, making their opponents unable to fight back. Especially on the defensive end, the Thunder are solid and airtight inside, and they catch mistakes and fight back to the end. The Timberwolves have completely lost themselves!

At the same time, the Thunder completed 14 steals, created 21 mistakes from the opponent, and scored 19-11 in a fast break to suppress the Timberwolves. More importantly, the Thunder team also attacked smoothly, while the Timberwolves scorer group was lost in the tsunami of fans. After the game, the Thunder team scored 14 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 40%. In contrast, the Timberwolves made only 12 of 34 shots outside the three-point line, with a shooting percentage of only 35.3%.

The Thunder ended the series with a 30-point victory, won the Western Conference championship again after 13 years, and advanced to the finals with their heads held high! At the same time, the Western Conference champions have scored several NBA records. According to statistics, this is the 61st single-game net win of double-digits this season, breaking the Warriors' historical record (60 games) set by the Warriors in 2017. At the same time, the Thunder won 80 games before the Finals this season, tied with the Bulls in the 96-97 season and ranked third in NBA history, second only to the Bulls (83 wins) in the 95-96 season and the Warriors (85 wins) in the 15-16 season. In another statistics, the average age of the Thunder is only 24.2 years old, and they become the youngest team in NBA history to reach the Finals.

Alexander once said: We are not as talented as the former Thunder Three Young Masters, but we will do our best to bring the championship back to Oxford. Now, the Thunder have made another step closer to the championship! According to the official arrangement of the league, the finals will start on June 6, and they can get a week-long rest time waiting for the Pacers VS Knicks Series winners! The Knicks were behind the Pacers 1-3, and bad news came again. According to team reporter Ian, Towns had a contusion in his left knee and it was suspected that the G5 in the East Finals played (50% chance of playing). The Knicks' life is on the verge of a line. Towns is the only strong player who can hit the Pacers' pain point. If Towns is absent due to injury or is in a good state, the Knicks may only be able to watch the Pacers meet with the Thunder in the finals. Fans, what do you think about this?
