On May 21, the NBA playoffs continued. In a Western Conference Final today, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 114-88 at home, achieving a good start in the series, leading the opponent 1-0.

In this game, Alexander, the Thunder star, has attracted a lot of controversy. In the whole game, Alexander played for 38 minutes, making only 10 of 27 shots, including 0 of 4 three-pointers and 11 of 14 free throws, scoring a total of 31 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, and 2 turnovers. However, because Alexander frequently stood on the free throw line, he was criticized and ridiculed by many media.

In the first quarter, Alexander stood on the free throw line seven times, while the Timberwolves stood on the free throw line only three times. Lakers media Lakeshowyo posted a post to mock: "As soon as I turned on the TV to watch the game, I saw Alexander taking a free throw."

ESPN's well-known commentator Mike Breen said: "Alexander has already paid 7 goals for 4 and a half points at the beginning." Another commentator on the side Doris Burke responded: "There is a reason why he likes to call Alexander a 'free throw wholesaler' on Twitter."

The famous media BrickCenter posted a moment in the game. In the picture, Alexander's expression was very exaggerated when he broke through. BrickCenter wrote: "No one touched him!"

It is worth mentioning that BrickCenter also posted another round and pointed out: "Alexander, are you playing basketball?"
Another media NBA Memes also posted this round and wrote sarcastically: "Alexander was raped in this round!"

The famous reporter Bill Simmons tweeted: "I don't care who wins and who loses in this game. Alexander's way of committing fouls is too bad, which is completely different from other playoff games!"

In the first quarter, because he was really dissatisfied with Alexander's continuous fouls, Edwards, the star of the Timberwolves, directly smashed the ball towards Alexander with a dead ball, and got a technical foul.

In the third quarter, Alexander fell in a bizarre battle, and the referee blew the whistle at the first time. Timberwolves player Walker was very dissatisfied. Timberwolves coach Finch chose to challenge, and eventually succeeded, and turned into no foul.
