Chet Holmgren admits to "stinking" early as the Oklahoma City Thunder dominate the Minnesota Timberwolves in West Finals Game 1.

This young Thunder team was tested to the max and had to find many different, unusual ways to win. Like a season ago, the shots dried up and stopped falling, which forced Oklahoma City’s defense to turn it up a notch and win in chaotic fashion.

Gonzaga great Chet Holmgren powered the Thunder past Denver with a double-double in Game 7, sending Oklahoma City to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2016.
