Thunder Report: Hometown heroes looking for a repeat performance for Game 2

News 9 Thunder Reporter Steve McGehee comes at us live from Paycom Center to give us the Thunder latest before Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Thunder started strong with a dominant showing at Game 1, winning against the Timberwolves 114-88. Having Game 2 continue the small streak of home games, MVP SGA and the boys are set for success.

"I'm going to go with a Russell Westbrook phrase: Why not?" McGehee said. "Minnesota, they got a front row view two nights ago, just how well this Oklahoma City Thunder defense is. That's why they're one of the best defenses in the NBA."

SGA accepted the award for being the 2025 MVP on Wednesday, so the pressure is on, even though he has been performing at an MVP level for a while.
