OKC Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves | Western Conference finals Game 5 Highlights | May 28, 2025

All right, Lisa, I want to know where they went to dinner cuz you know they went to a good spot. SGA gets inside, kicks it out in the corner. Homegrren nails a three. Hongrren had an excellent game for Randall. Gets a good look in the corner. Markstein boxing out. Tips it to SBA ahead to Homegrren. One stride and a stop. McDaniels guarding Gildas Alexander. Another throw up. This time Hart style able to get it going. Chad does a good job of showing his hands and not fouling on the play before with a lob. He’s in no man’s land. He’s not impacting the pick and roll and he’s not back there on better job. Richard not in no man’s land. He stepped up to put some pressure on SGA and Ran puts some pressure but Hartinstein throws it right back at him after the play we just said. You know, he was a no man’s. What a great block. Williams the screen. Yas Alexander drives on McDaniel. Spins inside, uses the left hand. Those are good shots, Richard. He has to keep taking them. Well, those are the the ones, Mike, that have been open all series. The priority Oh, he’s going to have to decide, do they want to hang in cuz the barges are going to come and Shay Gilders Alexander leading the way. Send it home, big fella. Chandler off the bounce. Caruso knocks it away. Comes up with a steal. Throws it back and Gilas Alexander the unselfish play. Anytime you turn your back or even if you don’t, they are looking to steal the basketball and Julius right away puts his head down and doesn’t react to get back defensively. Jaylen Williams the floater on the paint just good. SGA layup is good. Gilz Alexander got it. Tason Wallace guarding Reed his first minutes. Wallace part of that fantastic Thunder bench. Reed spins right into the double team. knocked away and another turnover. They’re three for 16 from the field. In some ways with that shooting as Gildas Alexander nails the three. It’s a first quarter title wave here for OKC. A 15-point lead. OKC is off and running. Shay, he sees that man back, steps in, knocks it down. 5 seconds. SGA double team kicks it out in the corner. Wallace a three. Punch it in at the buzzer. A fitting end to a dominant first period. Near perfection to start game five on both ends of the floor. Terrence Shannon seeing his first minutes here in game five. There’s another turnover. Caruso does it again and it’s fouled by Reed. told me he’s 196 lbs on a good day. He is 196 lbs. Throws it in deep. Randall triple team drives in. Shot blocked. Ball knocked loose. Williams to Wallace. That’s William Wallace. Hunger goes inside. Throws it down. Naz Reed trying to get aggressive. Another turnover. Jaylen Williams goes up and lays it in. Minnesota needs another timeout. Aaron Wiggins back up top. Williams up and under. Off the glass. It’s good. No room to breathe. And then on the other end, it’s just constant movement by their offense. Wallace Homegrren, Taylor Williams, Dort Wiggins. Homegrren open for three. Got it. in that energy himself. Aldrren inside to Wallace. Back out. Jaylen Williams nails another three. But once he got hurt that opened up for Jaylen Williams that helped gave him more faith and another steal. Wallace gets inside, lays it up and Minnesota has no answers to continue to put pressure. You see Shay pokes it away from behind. Wallace anticipating. He’s in the gaps. He’s still close enough to his man. I tell you what he’s not going to do. He’s not going to be criticized for his field goal attempts tonight. He has decided I am getting downhill and getting to my own. St. Gilus Alexander gets downhill and gets his own. See, this is the thing. When when when Rudy Gobear is guarding check, he’s got to respect the three-point. So, there’s nobody in there. Look in four minutes, right? Minnesota going to try to get some of their own back. Get this a little bit closer. Again, Shay taking his time. That double screen up top. See, look. Rudy Goar. Look, that’s a contest. SGA down a lane. Shot blocked by Edwards. Terrific defensive play, but Caruso comes up with a steal. Back inside. Layup. Missed it on a foul. Jay Will as Edwards throws it. Steal by Kevin Whitman. Said, “Hey, no, no, here we play a lot more games. Get back out on the court. Williams jumpers good. They just will not let up. They are relentless and pretty much the entire building on its feet as we wind down the first half. Build Alexander left hand and lays it up and in. The expectation when he came out of Kentucky was not that he was going to be a great player. He thought himself, I could be a quality rotation player and a good scorer. And lots of contact there. Edwards falls down. Looks Ben Taylor. He goes up the floor. SGA spins and an easy bucket tonight. Hartstein with one hand. Alexander to Hartstein for that lefty lost. Floats it up and in. Edwards finds the corner. McDaniels the baseline. Lost it. Got it back. Puts it back up. Blocked by Hogram. He was just like a player’s developed. He was developed as the GLeague coach until it was time for him to commit as Williams puts it up and in. And he gets some of the flows going. SGA pulls up. The mid-range Maestro does it again. Edwards nice fake. Pass deflected and stolen. SGA down a lane. Throws it down. More defense to offense. My coaches always say, don’t fake high and throw high. You fake the pass and throw the pass. And even right there, SJ pass inside. Caruso out to Dort. Dort lines up. three-pointer is good. It’s only their sixth three-pointer. Just giving his teammates an earful on the bench. I wonder if it’s like, “Hey, let’s make sure we’re putting this one away.” Kus Alexander floats it up and in. By the way, Carusos as prolific a year as he’s had. That three has abandoned him for much of this series. One of seven tonight. DB is three-pointer’s good. He got hit as well. Nas Reed the save. Deenzo goes to the corner. fires away. That one’s short. Naz Reed inside. Stripped and stolen. Extra pass. Jaylen Williams. Corner three. Caruso hustling to get the rebound. Gilders Alexander nails his three-pointer. 31 points for SGA. In the game for OKC, but he does so many things that show up on a stat sheet. All of a sudden, he gets an offensive rebound. SGA gets the knockdown. Everybody in the They’re in unison. The entire building is in unison on these chances. Wallace blocked by Reed. Homer right there to clean it up. SBA inside. Counted out. A foul in so many ways. Mike, his handle, the ability to navigate contact to somehow under the bump from Anthony Edwards and the backside help from Mike Connley to be able to get this off. SGA has done the same thing for OKC. Well, another MVP from Canada like SGA as Homer hits it. Steve Nash Alexander looked up to being from Toronto. Wallace kicks it out. Lou Dorton another high arcing threat. It’s good. They are ready to party here in Oklahoma City. Again, you you think about what Minnesota did. Williams lays it up and in. Jason Wallace out there defending Edwards like it’s a one-point game. And of course, he comes up with a steal. I think, believe it or not, they might have been in a boxing one. They still have room to grow, but I think this year so far it’s still been encouraging. And another block by Chad Holmes. Dort hits the three. Exclamation points. OKC will have homecourt advantage against either Indiana or the New York Knicks. Chris Finch has emptied his bench. Doesn’t matter who’s playing. Mike, I’m going to be so fascinated to see what Anthony Edwards adds to his game in the off season as Czech gets another three to go. I think Richard, you touched on this. One of the things he’s got to do, so you are going to have to retool. Every team is going to try to figure out how to beat OKC. He’s in that class of player. So, he’s got to continue making those steps similar to what SGA has done the last few years. Isaiah Joe with the three-pointer. Chang. Time to get the shots up. Oh. And a demeanor and a consistency to the group that is beyond their years. They just keep pouring it on. You know, we saw that Westbrook, Durant, and so connected. Obviously, when you win, it’s easy to stay connected as Isaiah Joe coming off the bench. Jaylen Williams drives Shannon the rebound. The fans ser serenating. They’re still coming up with steals. This is one of the great defensive performances we’ve seen in NBA playoff history. What they did to a a talented Minnesota team. The Oklahoma City Thunder are going back to the NBA finals. Heat. Heat.
