The Thunder can advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012 with a win over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday night.

Oklahoma City took a 3-1 series lead with a gritty, 128-126 victory in Game 4 on Monday, demonstrating impressive resolve after a blowout loss in Game 3.

League MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued to put his stamp on the series with a 40-point, 10-assist double-double.

He's scored 30-plus points in all three wins against Minnesota; in the lone loss, he was held to 14 points, his lowest total of the playoffs this year.

Minnesota didn't look competitive in the first two games at the Paycom Center: Will that change with its season on the brink? Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards combined for just 21 points in the Timberwolves' disappointing Game 4 loss, leaving much to be desired heading back on the road for a do-or-die Game 5.
