Just today, the Thunder advanced to the Finals 4-1, and the two NBA historical records were rewritten

Basketball

On May 29, in the NBA Western Conference Finals G5, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 124-94, and advanced to the finals 4-1. This is the Thunder's finals again after 13 years. The last time was in 2012, led by Durant, Westbrook and Harden, but now it has become Alexander, Javier and Homgren. The three of them now have the opportunity to create new history.

The Thunder showed better determination in this game, got into the state early, and scored a 26-9 offensive in the first quarter, then completely suppressed the Timberwolves, and had already scored a 33-point lead in the first quarter. In the second half, the Timberwolves once regained some offensive form and pushed the score difference to around 20 points. But then Alexander and Jewe scored points one after another, widening the score difference to more than 30 points again, and the game lost the suspense. The Timberwolves took the initiative to replace the main player until more than 6 minutes left and officially surrendered.

In this way, the Thunder advanced to the finals with a score of 4-1. This playoff journey encountered trouble against the Nuggets in the semi-finals, and they played until the tiebreak before they advanced thrillingly. When they arrived at the Western Conference Final stage, the Thunder showed great strength. Only one of the wins in four games was single digits, and losing one was a crushing defeat of 42 points, which did not affect their advancement. Now the Thunder are the first to advance to the finals and will wait for the results of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pacers are currently leading the Knicks with a score of 3-1.

As the Thunder advanced to the Finals, they also rewrite the two major NBA historical records. The first is that they have already achieved 61 double-digit wins this season, surpassing the Warriors in the 16-17 season and occupying the first place in history. This is still very difficult. In addition to winning, you also need to win a double-digit victory. It can only be said that the Thunder's strength is really unique this season, and they are very strong on both offense and defense. The other is the average age of the Thunder, which is only 24.2 years old, becoming the youngest team to advance to the finals. The Thunder are creating their own history. The team's lineup is very young. Every player is fully showing his energy. After each game, they will stay and be interviewed together, and they are very united. After Alexander received the MVP trophy in the Western Conference Finals, he quickly handed it over to his teammates. I believe that they will perform better in the next finals.
