The OKC Thunder has the Minnesota Timberwolves historically low score in the first half of WCF Game 5

One of the worst performances in Minnesota Timberwolves history.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have built a massive lead in the first half of Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

They currently lead the Minnesota Timber Wolves 65-32. Their offense was great, but their defense was absolutely amazing.

Stephen A. Smith predicted OKC would dominate the Timberwolves if their defense played at the high level they established.

And that’s exactly what they did, keeping the Timberwolves at one of the lowest scorers in playoff history.

The Minnesota Timberwolves scored just 32 points in the first half. This is one point behind the team’s record.

This record was set in the final series with the Golden State Warriors at 31. Overall, this brings together several teams at half the points in NBA playoff history.

The Timberwolves starter was totaled with just 20 points, which is absolutely unacceptable. Plus, they turned the ball over 14 times.

For the Timberwolves, it was an absolute start to disaster for the Timberwolves. Minnesota also allowed OKC to run numbers in the first half.

During the regular season, the Oklahoma City Thunder had the best defensive power in the NBA. However, there were questions about how it would translate into the playoffs.

Well, tonight’s performance is a prime example of how well they’re maintaining their defensive strength in the postseason.

It’s hard to see everyone defeating lightning in the playoffs.

Can the Timberwolves bounce back in the second half? It’s hard to see it happening the way they played.
