There was no competition, as has been the case throughout the season except against the best player in the world, Nikola Jokic, who pushed them to the limit. Oklahoma City Thunder is an NBA finalist after sweeping a dejected Minnesota Timberwolves team that failed to learn from last year's elimination against the Dallas Mavericks, ultimately falling 124-94 in a fifth game with no notable story, ending with an incredible 16-9 run that resembled a professional team against kids.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, predictably, was crowned MVP after scoring 34 points. Chet Holmgren contributed 22 points, and Jalen Williams added 19. As mentioned, there was no contest. Once the Wolves couldn't even the series at 2 in Minneapolis, it was evident that Oklahoma was going to seal the deal, just as they did. Once again, Anthony Edwards performed poorly, ineffective against the league's best defense. A sad end to the season for them. Oklahoma is the clear favorite to win the NBA title this year after securing 68 wins in the regular season. We will see if they face the Pacers or the Knicks.
