On Wednesday evening, the Oklahoma City Thunder will look to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals with a win over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conf

The Minnesota Timberwolves have made an impressive playoff run to the Western Conference Finals for the second straight year. While they are still alive as of this writing and are currently in the middle of facing elimination in Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, it's clear they're missing a piece.

Prior to the 2023-24 NBA season, the Minnesota Timberwolves had made a single appearance in the Western Conference finals during their entire existence.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have had a bevy of All-Stars play for the franchise, but only Kevin Garnett has achieved the league’s Most Valuable Player honors while playing for the Timberwolves. Let’s dig into his MVP campaign and the stats that helped him win the award.

Minnesota Timberwolves big man Rudy Gobert doesn't buy into the notion that Anthony Edwards had a bad Game 4. The Minnesota Timberwolves are currently gearing up for Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"These experiences are so rich for us," coach Mark Daigneault says as the Thunder keep growing in the postseason.

NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a playoff career-high 40 points, and All-NBA forward Jalen Williams had a playoff career-high 34 points for the Thunder. Oklahoma City held Minnesota All-Star Anthony Edwards to an uneventful 16 points and Julius Randle to five points.
