Western Conference finals will be a family affair this season as presumptive NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads the Oklahoma City Thunder against the Minnesota Timberwolves and Nickeil Alexander-Walker,

Cousins Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have faced each other 15 times now in the NBA — including once in a play-in game — but never in a playoff series.

The Thunder's rising duo of Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander paved the road to victory as they scored a combined 49 points on the afternoon. Following the game, Thunder big man and former Gonzaga Bulldog Chet Holmgren found himself in front of a microphone with plenty to say about his young teammate.
