OKC destroys Denver with a barrage of hits and sets up match with the Wolves in the Eastern Finals

Oklahoma City Thunder will face Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals after crushing Denver Nuggets in the seventh game of the semis. The game was decided between the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third. OKC's physical aggressiveness, far superior to the lifeless Nuggets, made the game lack any excitement: 125-93 and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, ready to receive his MVP.

We are in playoffs where physicality is rewarded (year after year increasingly) over talent, and players like Nikola Jokic or Luka Doncic seem to have a harder time. With relentless blows, OKC left the champions of two years ago with no chance, showing that their cycle may now be ending.

We will have a fierce duel between Shai and Anthony Edwards in a Conference Finals that could mark a new path in the league, but given that we have a different champion and finalists each year, it wouldn't make sense to take anything for granted or celebrate a new great rivalry just yet. It's sad to see the best player in the world fall like this, with a very limited team against a simply stronger one. Home again, Jokic. Enjoy the horses.
