The first MVP battle was crowned! Alexander made 11 of 21 shots and 13 of 15 free throws to score 38+3+8. The Thunder led 2-0

On May 23, the NBA playoffs started the G2 match in the Western Conference Finals, with the Oklahoma City Thunder sitting at home and continuing to face the Minnesota Timberwolves. Before the match, Alexander received the trophy for the regular season MVP this season, which is also the third MVP trophy in the past 12 years. In the first half, the stars of both teams showed enough aggressiveness. Edwards made 7 of 18 shots and scored 16 points, but only 1 of them made from 7 shots from the outside.

On the other side, Alexander is obviously more efficient. At the end of the first half, Alexander first made a three-pointer and then made a foul to score 2 points. In the first half, Alexander scored the highest 19 points for the two teams, and his shooting percentage of 6 of 9 shots was obviously much higher than that of Huazi.

There is another impressive scene in the second quarter. When Dort jumped to the ground, he slapped Foster's nose and instantly bleeding.

End of the first two quarters, the Timberwolves lagged behind 50-58. One of the main reasons was the silence of the second leader Randall. Unlike G1's ultra-high efficiency, Randle made 0 of 4 in the first quarter and 1 of 5 in the half, scoring only 2 points.

In the third quarter, Randall continued to make a move in the first two attempts. There was no way, Gobert could only fight with his hands at the basket and fight for the frontcourt rebounds. McDan continued to play the role of the core and continued to score.

In terms of the Thunder, Javi and Homgren continued to fire, and Alexander's 2+1 was still unstoppable. The Timberwolves' timeout was no longer effective, and Homgren's blast dunk widened the gap between the two teams to 17 points.

ended with the third quarter, and the Thunder had already led 93-71. Alexander scored 30 points with 10 of 15 shots.

By the last quarter, the Thunder still bloomed more, which also made the Timberwolves' defense lose sight of one thing. Entering the last 3 minutes, Alexander first assisted Javi to make a three-pointer, and made a layup in the next round, completely shattering the Timberwolves' hope of winning.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 118-103 and led 2-0 with a big score. In terms of data, Alexander made 12 of 21 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 13 of 15 free throws, scoring 38 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals. Edwards, the Timberwolves' star, made 12 of 26, including 1 of 9 three-pointers and 7 of 10 free throws, scoring 32 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.
