Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards received a punishment from the NBA during the Oklahoma City Thunder series.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was named the NBA's MVP for the 2024-25 season on Wednesday, but the rest of the Oklahoma City Thunder were big winners too.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves held their respective playoff practices on Wednesday. This came a day after the Thunder went up 1-0 in the Western Conference Finals with a 114-88 Game 1 win over the Timberwolves.

In this age of parity and second-apron hell that has all been by design, you couldn’t ask for a better flurry at the finish.

Even though SGA has a lot on his plate, he sees you, Thunder fans. It’s been almost impossible not to notice during these NBA Playoffs.

The Pacers are the hottest team remaining in the playoff field and could surge to their first NBA Finals appearance since 2000, when they beat New York to reach the championship round. It is going to be absolute NBA cinema to watch Tyrese Haliburton battle Brunson late in big spots.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves are the two teams left standing in the West. The Thunder and Wolves are meeting in the Western Conference finals with both franchises looking for a long-awaited NBA Finals appearance.
