Have the Thunder Broken the Wolves? Plus: A Must-Win Game 2 and Enjoying the Haliburton Experience.
About the episode
The Thunder continue their dominance to take a 2-0 series lead over the Timberwolves, as Verno and Jacoby recap Game 2 and debate what it’ll take for the Wolves to try to make this a series. They discuss how the Thunder’s Big Three of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren performed; Julius Randle’s disappearance; Mike Conley’s influence; and how the Thunder exploited the Wolves defense. Next, Jacoby shares his feelings after Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers came back to take Game 1 from the Knicks. Did the Knicks collapse, or was it a matter of a hot shooting stretch from Aaron Nesmith? Is Game 2 a must-win for the Knicks?
