Just think about that. A team takes 12 more shots. How are you going to win? How are you going to beat the best team? They had 11 offensive rebounds in that first half to six for the Wolves. The Wolves turned over 12 times while the Thunder only turned it over seven. Manny was playing good. In terms of shooting. Offensively, they're shooting well. 50 and 44.

But you just couldn't get down like that. And they kept fighting back. It was miraculous to see Dante DiVincenzo and Nikhil Alexander-Walker splashing threes to get them back. Those guys both score over 20. Jaden McDaniels scores over 20 to get them close, to get them to a tie-fricking game multiple times in the second half.

But it's just the way they started and the way their top two guys led their team. without really leading their team. That really came down to that. I mean, they just got down, and they couldn't make up for it. That's it.

Yeah, Chet, to be able to cover that Jaden McDaniels drive, spin with 40 seconds left, stuck with him every step from the three-point line to the rim to seal it. That was it. That was a beautiful thing to watch. Has to be mentioned along with Jalen Williams. Those two guys to support Shea Gildress-Alexander were monstrous. And yeah, you went through some of the numbers up there. Roll guys, Trey.

They weren't exactly needed when you get your top three balling the way they did. And so that was the huge difference. Jalen Williams just came out. Yeah, the secondary action and the open three-point shots, he was coming to play.

Yeah, they were totally even keeled, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. Yes, I mean, they've had a little playoff runs, but they haven't had this much playoff success. So you think at some point maybe, you know, will they start to win? Will the lights be too bright as you brought up there, Skeets? But no.

Yeah, I thought Cason Wallace was important in this game. When there's two broken plays and it's just a scenario where Cason Wallace gets the ball, I mean, he has to be the break in Cason of emergency. He has to be, and he did. That's what exactly he was multiple times and offensive boards. He was just that perfect throw that guy out there. He can be the fifth guy on a championship team.

He just was that exactly in this case. Well, on the other side, yeah, we can go through all the things. I thought Chris Finch putting Dante DiVincenzo on Shea in that first half was a mistake. Shea loves that matchup, and he went away from it in the second half, and it was just Nikhil Alexander-Walker, who was the best defender on Shea, even though there's not really an answer for Shea.
