It’s difficult to explain the atmosphere at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City to someone who hasn’t been there. But the sights on the television screen do it a sort of justice. Ninety-nine percent of the patrons wear the complimentary T-shirt provided to create a monotone wall of fandom that surrounds the court. It’s a good visual representation of the crowd’s unity throughout the game. Sure, it’s loud. The screams are deafening. The music blasts through the speakers. But it extends beyond that.

Suggs pointed at one of the only white players in the gym. “No, not that kid,” the man responded.

Minnesota didn’t give away Game 4 on Monday night at Target Center. The Wolves had massive contributions from their bench and fought to the bitter end against the conference’s top seed. But Oklahoma City was simply better. Any questions about the young Thunder’s maturity and readiness were answered emphatically in Minneapolis, as Oklahoma City held off the Wolves, 128-126, to gain a 3-1 series advantage. Game 5 is at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Oklahoma. Minnesota wasn’t perfect.

It’s certainly easier to construct your foundation with building blocks in hand, but seeing Jonathan Kuminga in a Warriors jersey and this week’s NBA lottery brought back memories of 2021, when the Timberwolves chose not to chase ping pong balls https://t.co/jrGNW9v0fM
44 points and 20 potential assists against the best defense in the NBA Sheesh

Jokic threw a championship-caliber punch Okc absorbed it and responded
