On the NBA Playoffs podcast David Zizmor:

#1 Oklahoma City Thunder Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led with 31 points and in the second half of the game scored 20 in OKC’s 114-88 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday night in the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

#2 The Timberwolves Julius Randle led with 28 point but scored only eight points in the second half. Not of enough Randle scoring but the spread was so wide for the Wolves to try and catch up.

#3 OKC leads the series 1-0 they dominated in the scoring in game 1 but one game is not four of seven not. Are the Timberwolves equip to come back and make this series interesting? Game 2 Thu May 22 at OKC how do you see this match up?
