Today in the NBA playoffs, the Timberwolves played against the Thunder G5. The Timberwolves (1) lost to the Thunder 94-124 and stopped in the Western Conference Finals.

After the game, ClutchPoints posted a tweet talking about the Timberwolves and Durant:

"After losing to the Thunder, the Timberwolves will likely become the winner of the Kevin Durant battle. The Timberwolves need someone who can hold the ball. They need someone who can cooperate with Anthony Edwards and win together. They also need someone who can score even when facing a perfect defense. Last summer, Durant proved that he is such a person in France (Olympics), and this is likely to happen in the NBA. A playoff loss may trigger some crazy things. This deal will also be crazy, but it is entirely possible for Huazi and KD to join forces."

It is worth mentioning that according to previous sources, the Timberwolves had quietly chased Kevin Durant as early as February this year.
