The Nuggets were eliminated in the tiebreak, and the Thunder advanced to the Western Conference Finals with their heads held high.

According to the latest update of the NBA's chance of winning, the Thunder, who just reached the Western Conference Finals, is far ahead with a 60% chance of winning, and the Timberwolves' chance of winning is only 14%. Although the Knicks have won fewer wins against the Pacers in history, the media predicts that the Knicks will beat the Pacers, and their chance of winning is 17%.

The four brand new teams that have advanced to the East and West Finals have not yet won the championship for a short time. The Knicks have also won two championship trophys in history, but that goes back to 1973. Now we are about to witness a team win the first championship, or win the championship again after 52 years.

After the Thunder enters the Western Conference Finals, they will face the Timberwolves who defeated the Warriors 4-1. According to statistics, the Timberwolves led by Edwards have defeated four MVPs in the playoffs in the past two years, including Durant, Jokic, James, and Curry (half-broken golden body). In this Western Conference Finals, Edwards will play against Alexander, the biggest favorite candidate for MVP this season. After confirming that the Thunder is close to the Western Conference Finals, the Timberwolves officially updated Ins, posted a group of players' training photos to share with the fans, and wrote: Timberwolves fans, happy Friday!

Alexander Walker, who joined the Timberwolves in 2023, is Alexander's cousin. Alexander is also full of expectations for the upcoming showdown with his childhood playmates. When asked this question in a post-match interview, Alexander replied: "Nikil is really like my brother, but I will try my best to beat him and defeat him with all my strength. This is absolutely. "

It is worth mentioning that the two's career record is exactly 7 wins and 7 losses. In the Western Conference Finals, the Timberwolves VS Thunder G1 match will start at 8:30 am on May 21!
