Oklahoma City Thunder basketball players beat Minnesoto Timberwolves in the second game of the Western NBA Finals and switched to four wins with 2-0. Newly -born best player of the Championship Shai Gilgeous-Lexander led the hosts with 38 points to success with 118: 103.

Gilgeous-Alexander received his MVP Award on the field before the match. Anyone who said at the time that the celebration could deter him from the task he was waiting for, he was strongly counted. With a loud home audience, the Canadian star was the first scorer of his team with 38 points, adding eight passes and three rebounds.

Oklahoma victory was reliable. At the end of the predominantly even first half, the hosts escaped by 24 points. Wolves with Anthony Edwardswho this time scored 32 points, and Julius Randlwho only collected six points, looked completely helpless.

« We play hard in defense, where our journey to victory begins every time, » said a home team member after 26 points, ten jumps and five passes Jalen Williamswho contributed 26 points and ten rebounds to the victory. « If we successfully stop them, we can perform the opposite attack and take advantage of our advantages, » agreed Gilgeous-Alexander.

“The feeling is good. It starts with defense, it is always the case. If we stop them, we are able to play quickly, « added the new MVP.

While Minnesota used only eight of the 15 players on the team again, the hosts distributed tasks among several basketball players and played with ten.

The next two matches of the finals will be played in Minneapolis, where Oklaha could already qualify for the NBA grand finals.
