However, they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 102-108 in the first round of the playoffs and missed the chance to enter the playoffs as the seventh in the Western Conference. Chance. The team has had some internal problems this season, including the outbreak of internal disputes and injuries of key players, which have had a certain negative impact on the team's performance.
In addition, the Timberwolves also encountered injury problems this season. Many core players of the team missed the game due to injuries, which had a certain impact on the team's performance. However, despite these difficulties, the Timberwolves still showed perseverance. They completed many comebacks in the regular season, proving their strength and determination. Although the journey of this season is over, the Timberwolves believe that they will continue to work hard in the future and usher in better performance.

The Thunder ranked lower in the regular season, but played an efficient scoring performance in the first round of the playoffs, showing strong offensive firepower. The Timberwolves performed slightly better in the regular season, but lost to the Lakers in the playoffs, missed the chance to make the playoffs, and also faced internal strife and injury problems.
However, both teams have their strengths and potential. If the Thunder can continue to play excellent offensive firepower, while doing better on the defensive end, they have the opportunity to play a better performance in the next game. The Timberwolves need to solve internal problems and injury problems, and at the same time exert the strength of the team in order to achieve better results in the coming season.
