Two teams have started the NBA Conference Finals strongly and will look to build on their leads when these games continue on Friday. Oklahoma City has outplayed Minnesota in the Western Conference with convincing wins to start both games. Backed by their newly won MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder were convincing winners for the second game in a row, going up 2-0 in the series. Oklahoma City’s even scoring and lockdown defense have given the Timberwolves a hard time as the series heads to Minnesota.
