In a previous NBA Western Conference Finals G2 game, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who played at home, easily defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves again 118-103. After this game, the Thunder, who had won two big wins at home, widened the total score of the series to 2-0, and they also had an absolute advantage in this round of series.

In this game, although the Timberwolves lost the game, the team's starting lineman Jaden McDaniels performed well. McDaniels played 34 minutes and 35 seconds in the whole game, made 8 of 15 shots, 4 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 22 points, 2 rebounds and 3 blocks. He also had 1 turnover and 5 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -4. McDaniels also showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He also won a large number of points through his work methods, providing a lot of support and help to the team. McDaniels' performance on the defensive end is also remarkable, and he has also shown quite good personal defensive abilities. The problem is that most of the team's players perform poorly, and McDaniels' efforts cannot help the team improve their competitiveness. In any case, McDaniels himself has worked very hard.

In the NBA regular season this season, McDaniels maintained full attendance in 82 games. During his 31.9 minutes of playing time, McDaniels averaged 12.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. He shot 47.7% from the field, 33% from three-point shooting percentage and 81.3% from free throws. In the playoffs, McDaniels averaged 34.9 minutes in the first 12 games, with averaging 15.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block, and 1.3 turnovers and 3.7 fouls. He shot 55.3%, three-point shooting percentage 37.5%, and 88% free throw shooting percentage.

McDaniels' performance during the playoffs was really eye-catching. He also showed comprehensive personal abilities on the offensive end. His offensive efficiency and his three-point shooting percentage have been significantly improved compared to the regular season stage. He is also capable of taking on more responsibilities on the offensive end. McDaniels often needs to defend his opponent's arrow character on the defensive end, and his role on the defensive end is also extremely outstanding. Unfortunately, in this round of the series, the biggest problem with the Timberwolves is that they are in huge trouble on the offensive end. The performance of the team's core players has also declined significantly, and they will really be in big trouble in this case.
