The Minnesota Timberwolves were not able to tie the series going back home, as they lost 118-103 in Game 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Some of the same problems that haunted them in Game 1 came back to face them two days later, and one of them was the play of Julius Randle.

Jaden McDaniels has been trying his best with his defense, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is making him more frustrated, leading to him committing a flagrant foul.
