In the G3 of the Western Conference Final, the Wolves suffered a crushing defeat! Paul smiled, the enemy of his life was stained with blood!

5:47pm, 23 May 2025【Basketball】

On May 23, the NBA Playoffs Western Conference Finals continued. The second game of the series started at Oklahoma at home. The young Thunder once again showed strong dominance, defeating the Timberwolves 118-103, leading 2-0 in the series and continuing to move towards the finals stage. The game process is the same as the score. The Thunder almost suppressed the opponent from the beginning to the end, but outside the game, what is even more surprising is a bloody disaster:

When the referee Scott Foster was accidentally injured by Dort in the game, blood was flowing in the scene for a while, and the game was forced to be interrupted.

Returning back to the video of the game at the time of the incident, Thunder player Dort waved his arm while jumping the ball, accidentally slapped the referee Foster standing beside him in the face. A strong slap made Foster disfigure his face on the spot, and blood gushed out of his face.

Although the consequences were slightly serious, Dort's action was obviously not malicious, but the movement was too large and he did not control the direction. But with this slap, the entire arena became quiet. The referee team quickly stopped the game, while Foster walked off the court while covering his face, and was still communicating with the linebacker.

Although there was a fourth referee on standby in this game, Foster himself had no plans to end the game. After receiving a few minutes of bleeding and bandage, he returned with an injury to continue enforcing the law in this Western Conference Final.

What's more ironic is that there is a familiar face sitting on the side of the game: Chris Paul.

The team where the veteran of the league missed the playoffs early. As a former Thunder guard, he also came to cheer for his former club in this game. It is no secret that the grudges between him and Foster were long gone. Paul suffered a 14-game losing streak in the playoffs that Foster called for. Paul emphasized after the game that there was a personal grudge between the two, which led to Foster taking special care of him during the game.

So, when Dort was sent out with a palm, Foster stained the field, and Paul was watching the game on the sidelines, social media was instantly flooded by netizens:

"Paul fans laughed crazy and finally saw the day when this face was judged!"

"You know, Dort is Chris Paul's most loyal disciple!"

"Chris, This is for you!"

There is also a set of data worth paying attention to. Judging from the statistics of this season, Foster is completely the hidden sixth person of the Thunder. Including the second game of the Western Conference Finals, Foster has enforced the Thunder four playoff games this season, and the Thunder has not lost. The specific matches are as follows:

The second game of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 149-106 by 43 points; in the tiebreak of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 125-93 by 32 points, and the second game of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 118-103 again; including the two games in the regular season, the Thunder won a total of 27 points.

The total season of Foster's slaughter of the Thunder has won all the results, with a total net victory over the opponent by 117 points. Such a huge winning rate advantage will inevitably arouse public opinion for fans.

Of course, public opinion belongs to public opinion, and the competition still needs to continue. At present, the Thunder holds a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals. Although the Timberwolves' overall lineup is not bad, they are suppressed by the Thunder on both offense and defense in two consecutive games. In particular, the offensive efficiency of the two core members, Randle and Edwards, has significantly declined. If they cannot adjust in time in the third game in the future, the series will probably be out of control.

According to the schedule, the next game will be back at the Minnesota Target Center on May 25. For the Timberwolves, they have no way out. We will wait and see if the wolves will fight back or the Thunder will directly win the match point.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another highlight worth paying attention to. Will Foster continue to yell in the next game?
