SGA Drops 40, OKC’s One Win from the Finals — and the Wolves Got No Answers

I Was Wrong. Very Wrong.

I picked the T-Wolves to beat OKC in 7 games. I said Ant-Man would rise. I believed the moment would finally belong to Minnesota.

But after OKC’s 128-126 win in Game 4 on Monday night in Minneapolis?

Let me be the first to tell you:

I was loud.

I was passionate.

And I was DEAD WRONG.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are one win away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 2012 — back when they had that three-headed monster of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden.

But this isn’t about the past. This is about the present.

And right now?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is that DUDE.

SGA gave the Timberwolves 40 points, 10 assists, and 9 rebounds. That’s a 40-piece lemon pepper wing dinner with extra fries— and you better eat every last bite.

And here’s the kicker: He did this after dropping a pedestrian 14 in Game 3.

That boy bounced back like a direct deposit.

Let the numbers marinate: SGA now has the most 30-point games (59) by an MVP (regular season + playoffs) in a single season since Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

But don’t act like he did it alone. Jalen Williams?

A certified hooper.

Dropped 34 and was cool as the other side of the pillow.

Chet Holmgren? 21 and 7 with more rim protection than TSA.

Let me say this plain:

The Thunder didn’t just outscore Minnesota — they straight outplayed them.

And where was Anthony Edwards?

I’ll tell you — he was missing in action the entire first half.

Two shots in 24 minutes? Finished with 16 points on 5-of-13 shooting and five turnovers.

Five turnovers?! That’s a Shake Shack combo meal with a side of “What are we doing here?”

And then this man had the audacity to say after the game, “I didn’t struggle.”

EXCUSE ME?!

Now look, I get it. He’s 23. He’s ascending. He’s got that alpha DNA.

But come on now — Kobe wouldn’t say that. MJ wouldn’t say that. AI wouldn’t say that. Hell, not even Gilbert Arenas would say that!

When you're the face of the franchise, you have to own the smoke.

Julius Randle? Don’t even get me started. I mean, we need an APB for this man.

One of seven from the field? Five turnovers? FIVE points?

And the real reason Minnesota lost?

It wasn’t just the stars disappearing — it was the sloppiness. 23 turnovers, which led to 22 points for OKC. Gave up 19 offensive rebounds. That led to 11 more shot attempts for the Thunder.

You don’t win games like that — I don’t care where you play or who you play.

Minnesota shot 51% from the field. They hit 44% from three. And STILL LOST.

Why? Because OKC is built different. They’re young, hungry, humble, and hoopin’.

SGA is already a superstar. J-Dub is rising like yeast in the summer. Chet looks like the second coming of Pau Gasol with KD’s range. And let’s not forget — they still got 40 draft picks over the next decade.

This isn’t a window. This is a damn glass house.

And yes, Ant-Man is coming. That young man is a certified bucket. He will be back. Stronger. Smarter. Scarier.

But right now?

The moment belongs to OKC.
