The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals. The OKC Thunder grabbed Game 1 of this series to start up 1-0 in the race to four wins in this best-of-7 series.

Minnesota's job as the underdog is to just grab one win inside the Paycom Center to feel good about its upset chances heading back home to the Target Center this weekend. If Oklahoma City can avoid a loss at home, they take a commanding 2-0 lead which dramatically shifts the odds even more in the Thunder's favor.

The Timberwolves will certainly play much better on Thursday. After going 15-for-51 from beyond the arc, Minnesota will still find open 3s all over the court put specifically in the corners with Naz Reid, Donte Divincenzo and company. Look for those guys to hit at a higher clip in this contest.

Anthony Edwards has been able to turn in impressive playoff games to date in his young career, Tuesday wasn't one of them. The Georgia product will almost certainly have a better game on Thursday.

The Thunder need to continue working on the glass to keep that category at least close after winning the rebounding battle in Tuesday's blowout win. OKC will continue to generate plenty of turnovers to spark easy offense but the points were hard to comeby in the first half. A slow start in this game would be a bad tone-setter against a desperate Timberwolves club.
