The NBA Playoffs are largely about what translates from the regular season and what doesn't. The Oklahoma City Thunder were a juggernaut in the 82-game marathon

On a night in which he hoisted the NBA MVP trophy for the first time, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander proved why he earned the honor in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.

The Thunder shot a blazing 61.9 percent from the field in the second half, including 61.5 percent from beyond the 3-point line. Meanwhile, the stunned Timberwolves made just 35 percent of their shots in the final 24 minutes, including a woeful 21.7 percent from beyond the arc.
