5:51pm, 27 May 2025Basketball
The Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 128-126 away today, leading 3-1 with a big score, and already got the match point. If you win another game, you will be able to return to the finals after 13 years. If it weren't for the unexpected defeat to the Timberwolves 42 points in the last game, the Thunder might have swept the Timberwolves and advanced to the finals.
After getting the match point, it is highly likely that the Thunder will reach the finals. However, the Thunder should not be careless, because the last time they reached the Western Conference Finals was a 3-1 lead by the Warriors who won 73 and missed the finals and the championship. In addition, Durant then ran away as a free agent and directly joined the Warriors. The Thunder also withdrew from the championship.
After winning the third young master of the Thunder, the Thunder became the top team in the Western Conference, reached the Western Conference Finals four times, and reached the finals in 2012, but unfortunately they failed to win the championship. This season, the Thunder achieved an impressive record of 68 wins in the regular season, and now they are only one victory away from the finals, and they have great hope of winning the first championship in the team history. The Timberwolves' situation is not that good. Although they have reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, they are likely to stop in the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, miss the finals and cannot win the championship. In the Western Conference Finals last year, the Timberwolves lost all the first three games against Doncic and Irving. Although they finally won the fourth game, they were finally easily eliminated by the Mavericks 4-1. After losing to the Thunder today, the Timberwolves are likely to be eliminated 4-1 by the Thunder.
It is worth mentioning that although the Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Final last season, they still traded Towns in exchange for Divinchenzo and Randall. Unexpectedly, after experiencing a big deal, they could still reach the Western Conference Finals again. Unfortunately, facing the stronger Thunder, they are still far from the championship.
The Timberwolves performed well today. The team made 43 of 84 shots, with a shooting percentage of 51.2%, of which 18 of 41 three-pointers were made, with a shooting percentage of 43.9%. Unfortunately, they still lost with two points. According to statistics, in the past two playoffs, the team that hit more than 50% in a single game and scored 18 three-pointers at the same time had a record of 55 wins and 0 losses, but the Timberwolves failed to win.
Timberwolves mainly lost to the two core cores of Edwards and Randall. They were neither in shape today, and they only scored 21 points in total for 20 shots. In addition to them, the Timberwolves also scored 20+ points, and the substitute contributed as much as 64 points. If they were a little more powerful, the Timberwolves had the full hope of tied the big score to 2-2 today, then there would be more suspense in the Western Conference Finals.
