For more than a half, it was a tight game, but the Thunder ultimately pulled away and turned it into a 114-88 blowout. The Wolves have some course correcting to do before Game 2, so here's a look at five things that stood out from Game 1:

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves shot 35% from the field and went 15-of-51 (29.4) from 3. They shot 15-of-21 on free throws. They had 18 assists on 29 baskets. Two Timberwolves players scored double-digit points.

For the first two rounds of these playoffs — and, really, the six-plus weeks leading up to them — Minnesota had consistently been the bigger, faster, stronger team on the floor.

Draymond Green fouled out in the fourth quarter while Anthony Edwards came away with 36 points, four rebounds and four assists.

The Minnesota Timberwolves came from behind to beat the Golden State Warriors in Game 3. Anthony Edwards led all scorers with 36 points.

Trailing by two at the half, the Timberwolves cranked up two things — their ball movement on offense and their intensity on defense. The result was an avalanche, and a 117-110 victory that gave Minnesota a commanding 3-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinal series.

It was the Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards show for the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night in a 102-97 win over the Golden State Warriors, giving them a 2-1 lead in their second-round series.

The Knicks are favored by 4.5 points at Madison Square Garden and are -150 to win the series. In the Western Conference, the championship-favorite Oklahoma City Thunder came alive in the second half Tuesday and rolled to a 114-88 win in Game 1 of their series with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
