The Minnesota Timberwolves hoped to break through in Game 5 against the OKC Thunder on Wednesday in Oklahoma. Following lopsided losses on the road to open the series, the Timberwolves looked to stay alive in the Western Conference finals with a much-needed win. Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle, who struggled two nights ago in Minnesota, led a desperate team facing elimination.Chet Holmgren dropped seven points in the opening five minutes to push the Thunder to a 15-7 lead. Holmgren's hot start forced Timberwolves coach Chris Finch to an early timeout. The brief ceasefire hardly mattered as the home team continued to dominate behind a push from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. OKC led 26-9 after one quarter.Minnesota played better in the second quarter, but the hosts remained dominant. SGA and Holmgren sustained their form, while Alex Caruso came off the bench to give the Thunder a big lift with his scoring and defense. Caruso's eight points, two steals, one rebound and one assist in the period helped push OKC to a 65-32 halftime lead.Minnesota Timberwolves vs OKC Thunder player stats and box scoreMinnesota Timberwolves player stats and box scorePlayerPTSREBASTSTLBLKTOFG3-PT FGFT+/-Julius Randle811Jaden McDaniels341Rudy Gobert041Mike Conley001Anthony Edwards951Naz Reid410Donte DiVincenzo340Nickeil Alexander-Walker011Terrence Shannon Jr.500Josh Minott----------Leonard Miller----------Luka Garza----------Joe Ingles----------Jaylen Clark----------Rob Dillingham- - -------- OKC Thunder player stats and box scorePlayerPTSREBASTSTLBLKTOFG3-PT FGFT+/-Chet Holmgren1520Jalen Williams1562Isaiah Hartenstein230Shai Gilgeous-Alexander2045Luguentz Dort021Kenrich Williams030Alex Caruso811Isaiah Joe000Aaron Wiggins021Cason Wallace512Dillon Jones----------Ousmane Dieng----------Jaylin Williams----------Ajay Mitchell---------- Editor's Note: Updates will follow.
