That was a rare 1st half where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Thunder missed all 4 of midrange FG attempts
On flip side, Timberwolves made 4 of 5 midrange FGs in the 1st half, including 2 of 3 from Anthony Edwards as part of Edwards’ first 20-point first half in 44 days. – 10:01 PM

With 7:13 left in the first half, the Minnesota Timberwolves have:
– one player outscoring entire Oklahoma City Thunder starting lineup (Anthony Edwards 16, OKC starters 15)
– one reserve outscoring entire Oklahoma City Thunder bench (Terrence Shannon Jr. 9, OKC bench 8) – 9:30 PM

Terrence Shannon Jr. had six points in the entire playoffs coming into the night. Then he scored nine points in four minutes to start the 2nd Q and help MIN extend its lead with Anthony Edwards on the bench. The Wolves crowd erupted in a loud ovation when TSJ checked out – 9:28 PM

Anthony Edwards: 16 pts on 6-for-8 shooting
Oklahoma City Thunder: 14 pts on 6-for-20 shooting
MIN leads 34-14 after 1Q – 9:09 PM

Anthony Edwards is playing great basketball right now, just a complete understanding of the moment, and bringing it on both ends. Minnesota hasn’t been this physical and connected all series. A great response by MINN. – 8:53 PM
