The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves 124-94 in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals, clinching the series 4-1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led with 34 points while Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams contributed significantly to the win. This victory is especially significant for a franchise that has faced challenges since Kevin Durant's departure in 2016. The Thunder will face either the Indiana Pacers or the New York Knicks in the Finals, having secured homecourt advantage due to their league-best regular-season record of 68-14.
Oklahoma City opened the game on an 11-3 run and extended the advantage throughout the first quarter, leading to a dominant victory over Minnesota.
The Thunder's victory not only secured their place in the NBA Finals but also highlighted their remarkable resurgence after years of rebuilding.
