The problem was Edwards got no help tonight. Julius Randle, who has been playing great basketball as of late, struggled, scoring just six points on 2-11 shooting.
Oklahoma City’s defense has been special all season long and has proven to be the difference in these playoffs. If OKC continues to play this way, they’ll likely hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy come June.

Minnesota is in a lot of trouble. If they don’t figure out how to slow Gilgeous-Alexander as well as figure out OKC’s defense, they could easily be swept. The Thunder are a special team and they will look to take a 3-0 series lead on Saturday when they play Game 3.
Tip-off is at 8:30 PM EST.
