33 of 34 teams to start 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals have won the series. The one exception? OKC coming back down 0-2 to beat the Spurs in 2012.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been named to the 2024-2025 All-NBA First Team.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has 3 All First Team selections. For context, that matches Bill Russell, Allen Iverson, Scottie Pippen, Steve Nash, Elvin Hayes, Kawhi Leonard & Isiah Thomas. And it’s more than Russell Westbrook, John Stockton, Gary Payton, Tracy McGrady & Dwyane Wade.

Jalen Williams has been named to the 2024-2025 All-NBA Third Team.

What a season from Jalen Williams. All Star All NBA Third Team All-Defense Second Team Kept OKC afloat by starting at center when Chet and Hartenstein were hurt. Second scorer and creator while playing elite defense for a team that’s currently 2 wins from the NBA Finals.

“Yeah old man! Yeah old man!” JWill hyping up 31 year old Alex Caruso.

Thunder starters vs Wolves SGA Dort JDub Chet Hartenstein Western Conference Finals Game 3

First possession of the game: Chet to Hart big to big alley oop slam.

Wolves were always going to come out with a big punch with a rowdy crowd at home. Thunder gotta play through the early road buzz and stay in it.

Thunder down 14-34. Fewest points in a quarter in these playoffs for OKC. Gotta try to cut that deficit in half before halftime.

JDub takes OKC’s first free throws one minute into the 2nd quarter.

The kind of night it is for OKC so far: Terrence Shannon Jr has out scored every Thunder player. He’s got 9 points in 3 minutes.

Naz Reid was 4-19 including 0-12 from 3 in Games 1 and 2. Reid is 4-4 tonight including 2-2 from 3. Wolves are shooting 9-18 from 3 as a team.

Thunder down 41-72 at the half. Just a complete 180 from the first 2 games. Wolves in a desperate must win game and they’re playing like it.

One of those nights. Thunder gotta flush it and try to get Game 4 on Monday night. Stealing one game in Minnesota and heading back to OKC up 3-1 is the goal.

Chet Holmgren: "I'm going to get into it and see where I can be better. Our whole team and coaching staff is going to. Everybody's gonna look and see where they can be better, because we have a group of guys that really care."
