Complain all you want about SGA: The Thunder lived in the paint all game. The Wolves were bricking 3s all game.
61% of Minnesota's shots were 3s
60% of OKC's shots were in the paint
Minnesota also both needs to find a way better shot profile and prevent OKC paint penetration.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander certainly did flop and draw some fouls, referees shouldn't reward him the way they did. But the Timberwolves, including Anthony Edwards, made very little effort to attack the basket all game long.
As I said this afternoon, OKC is clearly the best team. They should win the title. Yet, I find it impossible to root for them.
Their identity is super physical, amazing defense + an MVP who collapses when you nudge him to get calls & the refs reward it every time. Hate it.
@Mh2Montgomery Draymond had Donte in a choke hold and we had to burn a time out 😂 meanwhile every time the warriors get into the paint we breathe on them and they get free throws!
