Out West, it’s steady as she goes

Out West, it’s steady as she goes. The Oklahoma City Thunder are halfway to the Western Conference Finals, having taken care of business at home with a convincing 118-103 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2. The Thunder now lead the series 2-0.

While the second game was a closer affair than the series opener, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves couldn't complete the comeback. Edwards poured in 32 points, but his impact was blunted by a team-worst -22 plus-minus rating — a telling stat in a game where every possession mattered.

As for the MVP candidate? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again showed why he’s the engine of this young Thunder squad. The All-Star guard dropped 38 points and dished out 8 assists, while Jalen Williams added a crucial 26 points of his own to power OKC’s offense.

The numbers don’t lie: this marks the second consecutive 15+ point victory for Oklahoma City to open the series. And according to NBA statisticians, teams that start a playoff series with two such dominant wins have advanced in 44 of 48 cases in league history.
