The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 118–103 in Game 2 at the Paycom Center on Thursday night, continuing their dominant play in the Western Conference Finals. This victory puts the Thunder ahead 2-0 in the best-of-seven series.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put on an incredible display, scoring 38 points on 12-of-21 shooting and making 13 of 15 free throws, just one day after being voted the NBA's Most Valuable Player. He demonstrated his versatility by contributing three steals and eight assists. Gilgeous-Alexander set the tone defensively and directed the Thunder's offense, demonstrating his leadership.

Chet Holmgren scored 22 points and Jalen Williams scored 26 points, respectively, to provide important support. Because of their efforts, the Timberwolves were unable to concentrate only on stopping Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder were able to establish and hold their lead throughout the game thanks in large part to their well-balanced assault and strong teamwork.

With 32 points, Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves and surpassed Kevin Garnett to become the most prolific postseason scorer in Minnesota history. He only made one of nine three-point attempts, though, as he struggled from beyond the arc. After playing a significant role in Game 1, Julius Randle only scored six points and was benched in the fourth quarter. The Timberwolves' offensive difficulties were highlighted by their 14 turnovers and 41.4% field goal percentage, which included 11 of 39 three-pointers.

The first half of the game was hotly contested, but the Thunder dominated the third quarter, going 35–21 to increase their lead to as high as 24 points. During this time, Oklahoma City's effective scoring and increased defensive pressure proved to be the difference.

Game 3 of the series will take place in Minneapolis on Saturday, May 24, and the Timberwolves must win to avoid a crippling 0–3 disadvantage. To counter the Thunder's momentum, they will need to make some big changes, especially in reducing turnovers and increasing shooting effectiveness.
