The Thunder played against the Timberwolves again at home, without any surprises. The home team suppressed the game, leading at most 24 points, beating the away team, winning 118-103 15 points, leading 2-0 with a big score. In this game, the Thunder performed normally and showed their own characteristics. The Timberwolves could still beat the first half, but they couldn't stand it in the third quarter. The same situation as in the previous game, and the intensity could not match for 48 minutes. To put it bluntly, it is still the gap in strength. Thunder can make waves, but Timberwolves cannot, otherwise they will be taken away by a wave of flow.

Data: Alexander 38 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 assists, Jaylenway 26 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, Homgren 22 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, Dortmund 9 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 interrupts, Caruso 9 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, Wallace 8 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, Haltenstein 6 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists; Edwards 32 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, McDann 22 points, 2 rebounds, 3 hats, Walker 17 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, Reed 10 points, 8 rebounds, 2 hats, Divincenzo 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, Randle 6 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, Gobert 5 points, 9 rebounds, Conley 3 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Judging from these two games, the gap between the strength of the two sides was too big. Neither the Thunder sweated, and the Timberwolves fell down. This also shows that the Nuggets and the Clippers are really strong, while the Lakers and Warriors are really weak.

The Thunder and the Nuggets fought for 7 games. If it weren't for the latter's injury factor, it's hard to say who wins and who loses. The Nuggets played 7 games with the Clippers, which shows that the gap between the three teams is not big, and the winner is just a slight margin. These three teams have one common feature: balanced offense and defense, and the stars are all strong.

In contrast, the opponents defeated by the Timberwolves, one of which did not defend and the other did not attack, made Randle transform into the Great Devil. Look at Randle's thunder, he has no temper at all and is completely restricted. Similarly, there are players such as Edwards, Reed, and Mike who performed well in the first two rounds, who can't fight the Thunder's airtight defensive barrier at all.

The Thunder leads 2-0, and the promotion situation is very good. You can congratulate them in advance. As long as the team remains healthy, the players take the game seriously, and the league does not mess around, there is no big problem in sweeping the Timberwolves to advance 4-0. The biggest suspense of the Timberwolves is whether they can win one game and whether Edwards can be super godly?
