Nick Wright reacts to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder's 114-88 win over Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals of the NBA Playoffs. Nick breaks down why SGA's foul grifting has gotten out of control and how OKC's defense led to them outscoring Minnesota 70-40 in the second half. Later, Nick discusses the struggles for Ant, Julius Randle, Rudy Gobert, and the Wolves and whether he expects them to bounce back in Game 2.
