Oklahoma City destroyed Minnesota by 30 points in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals on Wednesday night to secure a spot in the NBA Finals. It was much more lopsided than the final score suggests and on balance the series wasn't very competitive, save for a bizarre Game 3. Minnesota's Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards were fairly open and honest about the differences between the two games postgame.
"Their movement, their body language their connectivity," Conley told reporters. "Their IQ, the things that they were doing, the adjustments they were making were just a level above us."
