The Minnesota Timberwolves set a franchise record for points scored in a playoff game on Saturday night as they routed the Oklahoma City Thunder 143-101 to cut the deficit to 2-1 in the Western Conference finals.

The group that purchased the Seattle SuperSonics was described as the "prototypical ownership group" when they brought the team to OKC in 2006.

Both the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder found success this season thanks to trades made several years ago.

Gilgeous-Alexander powered Oklahoma City to the NBA’s best record with a franchise-high 68 wins and the top seed in the Western Conference. SGA finished as fantasy’s third ranked player on a per-game basis behind only Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama.

The NBA hasn't had an American win the MVP in seven seasons, and ESPN's Jay Williams said that cancel culture could be the reason for that.

Former Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone provided some insight Thursday night into what makes Oklahoma City Thunder guard and reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander such a difficult player to guard.

There is someone who the Oklahoma City Thunder simply cannot stop. They simultaneously send multiple players — sometimes about half the roster, it seems — to try and derail him.

In the third quarter of the Timberwolves’ Game 1 loss to Oklahoma City, Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tried to drive right past his cousin, Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Shai fell down, and the official called a foul on Nickeil.
