The Oklahoma City Thunder will look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead when they battle the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of their best-of-seven Western Conference final on Thursday. The Timberwolves (49-33), who lost in five games to the Dallas Mavericks in last year's conference finals, are looking for their first NBA title. The Thunder (68-14), who have not reached the NBA Finals since 2012, last won an NBA championship in 1979, when the team was based in Seattle. This is the first postseason series between the two teams.
