The Minnesota Timberwolves will need to solve Oklahoma City's 'AAU' defense to avoid a 2-0 deficit in the Western Conference finals.

The Thunder were the best team in the NBA all season for a reason. They harass you physically on both ends of the floor, with relentless defensive ball pressure and a constant attacking of the rim on offense.

Big Rob Clay has been in the lead-off spot in each of the Thunder’s first two playoff series, with the local pastor and singer doing the national anthem before Game 1 against the Grizzlies and the Nuggets. On Tuesday, the Thunder switched it up and went with Oklahoma-born singer Ben Rector. He played piano while singing, and it was top-notch.
