The Minnesota Timberwolves are back in the Western Conference Finals. Last year, they were eliminated by the Dallas Mavericks in convincing fashion.
But this time around, they have to face a different team – either the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Denver Nuggets.
The Timberwolves will be hoping to see the Nuggets, as they defeated them in 7 games during the Western Conference Semifinals last year.
While the OKC Thunder pose a different challenge, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander also looking to take the next leap in his career.
