R AFTERNOON IN GAME SEVEN, A DEFENSIVE CLINIC. ONLY 88 POINTS FOR MINNESOTA. AND IS THE CASE NIGHT AFTER NIGHT WITH THIS TEAM. SO MANY DIFFERENT PLAYERS CONTRIBUTING. >> THEY HAVE SUCH GREAT INDIVIDUAL DEFENDERS. FOUR OF THE TOP FIVE GUYS IN EFFECTIVE FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE AGAINST IS THEIR TEAM. I MEAN, THINK ABOUT THAT ELITE BOTH SCHEME WISE AND OVERALL. >> ALL RIGHT. NOW LET’S GO TO LISA WITH JAY GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER AND A NUMBER OF HIS FRIENDS. >> SHAY. WHAT WAS DIFFERENT OFFENSIVELY FOR YOU GUYS IN THE SECOND HALF. >> HONESTLY IT FELT LIKE WE WERE A BIT RUSTY, WHICH WE SHOULDN’T BE. WE WERE MISSING LAYUPS, FREE THROWS. WE JUST WE JUST NEEDED TO KEEP BEING AGGRESSIVE, TRUST OUR WORK. WE GOT DOWNHILL, THE LAYUPS STARTING TO FALL. WE STARTED MAKING SHOTS.

  1. What the Timberwolves are doing is exactly what's wrong with the NBA. Everyone is jacking 3s in the first game…..and it's bricks after bricks and almost every damn team out there is trying to play a similar system.

  2. I expect to see Ant and the twolves to fall down when touched much more the rest of the series in response to the officiating we saw tonight. Force the officials to call it both ways. I would try that and also I would have some backups come in and physically foul SGA hard since he’s going to get the whistle anyway, might as well get a few licks in and see how agile and spry he is by game 4

  3. Half his points were free throws. Genuinely have no idea how any one outside of Oklahoma can like this dude lmao

  4. OKC = πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜΄πŸ˜΄πŸ˜΄πŸ˜΄
    Snooze fest
    Honestly what a boring ahh team man. No charisma no aura. Just cornballs πŸ˜‚

  5. These OKC haters are hilarious πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  6. I find SGA’s style of basketball despicable but what’s even more appalling how the refs are calling that in the WCF. Basketball is turning into ballerina ball.

  7. Sad how basketball that one point in time was really the most physical and popular sport now it's just sad watching basketball now

  8. And what's crazy is these players really think that they can compete with the old school players their mentality would take these guys out in the first quarter

  9. Its cool wolves winning two at home since refs wont be there for okc like they are at home 🏠 but wolves lost but refs need be fair but wolves had it smh

  10. Bad NBA game, refs decided the game early on with SGA flopped all the time. I stopped watching after 10 minutes

  11. 7 free throws in the first 2 minutes πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…
