Ant and Randle ultimately costed the Wolves this game. Can’t go a combined 6/20 from the field when the rest, ESPECIALLY the bench, performed as well as they did tonight 🤦♂️…..
That fan almost just single-handedly gave the Wolves another shot to tie it
That final minute was unbearable to watch of an otherwise great game
That fan was almost the mvp
This had to be an exhausting game for fans of either team. Felt like every time OKC was pulling away Minnesota would go on a run, and then OKC would answer with their own run, and it just went back and forth like that for the whole game.
The phrase “it’s a game of runs” has never felt more real.
JALEN WILLIAMS
Can’t have your two best players under 20 and 10 and expect to win
Did OKC miss a shot in the 4th lol? Also Minnesota simply won’t win this series if Ant plays like this. All the talk about how good he is, and he’s completely ducking away from the moment
Anthony Edwards proving that he can be absent both off and on the court.
SGA is NAW cousin
The real crime tonight was watching this on ESPN.
Very rarely does a team putting up 126 against OKC’s defense lose but 21 turnovers is just diabolical.
God they were so good down the stretch. Every time we got within striking distance it was 2 or 3 straight possessions that put them up 7 or 8.
Bench played great, starters mostly sucked. So it goes.
Losing a game where your bench scored 60+ and your two best players combined for 20.
Yikes.
The entire 4th quarter was just
Mcdaniels/DDV 3
Minny cuts it to 2-3
Shai midrange fadeaway
OKC makes it 7
Timeout
Repeat
This game is on Ant and Randle.
Julius Randle 5 points 1-7 5 turnovers 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was BY FAR the best game from OKC’s big 3, SGA and Jdub got their game going and Chet is a rim protecting demon.
What’s even more impressive is how Wolves bench and roleplayers showed up big time and kept this game super close despite their two stars having stinkers.
ANT has to be better.
SGA / JDub duo combined for 74 points. Ant / Julius duo only 21 points.
SGA, JDub and Chet were phenomenal this game, and they got enough contributions from the rest of the guys to pull out this win for the Thunder
Which makes it really sting for the Wolves because their roleplayers were phenomenal this game, but they didn’t get enough from Ant for his standards, and Julius didn’t show up at all
Easily the biggest difference this game
okc big 3 had a huge 4th quarter
shai had some unbelievable shots throughout the game
Dort was the difference. He straight up sold out to deny Ant. And fought over every screen. Let him get nothing.
Fucking Jalen Williams. Every time we get it to within 2-3 points, Williams comes down and hits a tough ass shot.
