Oklahoma City drops another boom — takes 2-0 series lead while Minnesota checks if their rim is cursed.
Date: May 22, 2025
Location: Paycom Center, OKC
Final Score: Thunder 110, Timberwolves 102
Series: Thunder lead 2-0
What do you get when you cross youthful chaos, playoff nerves, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s basketball wizardry? You get the Timberwolves down bad… again.
The Thunder came into Game 2 with all the energy of a dorm room that just learned midterms were canceled — absolutely unhinged in the best way possible. And SGA? Dude was slicing up Minnesota’s defense like it owed him money. Slippery footwork, fadeaway daggers, and more hesitation than your group trying to pick a dinner spot.
Minnesota didn’t go quietly, though. Anthony Edwards tried to will them back with a highlight reel of dunks and that “main character” energy. But every time the Wolves started to claw back, OKC just said “nah” and hit a clutch three or forced a turnover that turned into a fast-break party.
Chet Holmgren even showed up looking like a haunted tree with a jumpshot, swatting shots and stretching the floor like playoff unicorns are supposed to.
At this point, the Wolves aren’t just fighting the Thunder — they’re battling OKC’s confidence, the crowd’s decibel level, and their own postseason ghosts. Down 2-0 and heading back to Minneapolis, things are getting real existential real fast.
