The Oklahoma City Thunder are set to defend home court in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals inside the Paycom Center.

Oklahoma City blew out Minnesota in the series opener on Tuesday and had a busy 36-hours in between. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was tabbed as the NBA's Most Valuable Player as Jalen Williams and Lu Dort were named to their first all-defensive teams. The celebrates are over, for now, and it is time to get back to basketball.

The Timberwolves should be desperate for a Game 2 win to be able to earn a split and avoid heading home down 0-2 in the best-of-7 series. The Thunder are aiming for a commanding 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals to cut the wins needed to punch its ticket back to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012 in half.
