3x NBA All-Star's Brutally Honest Statement Before Wolves-Thunder Game 2

What has come on strong for the Thunder is their offense. The Thunder shot 50% from the field as a team and 11-for-21 from beyond the arc, with the NBA's Most Valuable Player, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, leading the way. He had 31 points and scored 20 in the second half alone, propelling the Thunder to a big Game 1 victory.

On "Gil's Arena," former Memphis Grizzlies guard Gilbert Arenas talked about the Thunder's offense and the lack thereof from Minnesota and Anthony Edwards.

"They play very well with each other, that's one thing that they do have over [the] Wolves... A high level of experience from a group that's not experienced," Arenas said of the Thunder.

He also talked about what the Timberwolves are lacking, saying, "They're easily guardable if you can contain Ant-Man [Anthony Edwards]. The Wolves are still trying to figure out who they are, what they do best."

Those are harsh words, although factual when considering the numbers and performance of the two teams in the series. The Timberwolves' bench struggled mightily, but the Thunder's reserves were efficient, combining for 32 points on 10-for-16 from the field.

While the Thunder have fed off turnovers the entire season, Minnesota cannot afford to have 17 turnovers again, which led to 31 points for Oklahoma City. Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals is set for 8:30 p.m. EST on Thursday.
