The Oklahoma City Thunder are moving on to the NBA Finals after dismantling the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference finals, with Game 5's 124-94 demolition serving as a microcosm for how the series went. It included another outstanding performance from MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who recorded 34 points (with only four free throw attempts!) to go with eight assists and seven rebounds in the blowout.
He was rewarded by being named the Western Conference finals MVP. He also wrote his name into the history books alongside some pretty notable figures, one might say.
