00:00The Western Conference Finals is upon us and this year the NBA's got a constellation of young stars shining.

00:06We got SGA in Oklahoma City going against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

00:11We start you off with Edwards, a little step back three over Chet Holmgren.

00:15Minnesota bursting out of the gates, they're up 8-0, but there goes Shea Gilgis-Alexander driving, missing, gets the foul.

00:22Then Anthony Edwards takes the dead ball and chucks it at SGA while he is on the ground.

00:28Edwards gets a tech, SGA makes all three free throws, then the drive and the spin for the layup for Shea Gilgis-Alexander.

00:35Then Holmgren gets the steal, Jalen Williams going the other way for the dunk.

00:38Now Oklahoma City's back in front, 17-16.

00:41Edwards drives, puts it up for the miss, but gets fouled, he twists his ankle as he lands.

00:47There it is one more time, look closely at that right ankle twisting.

00:50He would make one of two free throws, then exit the game.

00:53There you see him going back to the locker room.

00:55Later in the second, off a miss, Julius Randle gets the offensive rebound, pulls up for the three, and Minnesota in front, 30-27.

01:04From there, Anthony Edwards bouncing back.

01:07You can see, still not feeling 100%, but he comes back out and finds Julius Randle, and Randle's helping.

01:13He nails the quick three, 28 points and eight rebounds for Randle, who is five of six from distance on the game.

01:20Edwards pulls up for three.

01:21That one looks good.

01:22Minnesota by seven.

01:23Then Edwards goes up for the monster dunk, but gets fouled by Lou Dort.

01:29Edwards made one of two free throws, and at the half, Minnesota let it by four in the third.

01:35SGA to Jalen Williams for three.

01:37SGA, a pull-up jumper plus the foul.

01:40He'd make the free throw.

01:41Beautiful move there from Shea Gilgis-Alexander.

01:44OKC by two.

01:45Edwards gets a three off the screen from Goberi at 18 points and nine rebounds, but he wouldn't score in the fourth.

01:51Minnesota up by one at that point, but from there, SGA helping to take over.

01:56He gets the mid-range jumper.

01:57Then Jalen Williams gets the drive and layup off the dish from Kaysom Wallace.

02:03Then it's SGA driving, making a fadeaway, plus the foul.

02:07He'd hit the free throw.

02:07The lead is 11 now.

02:10Shea Gilgis-Alexander dishes inside the home grid, and he just jumps up before looking at the goal and stuffs that thing in.

02:17That must be nice.

02:18Home grid, 15 points, seven rebounds, two blocks.

02:21OKC by 11.

02:22Lou Dort with the steal from Julius Randle.

02:25And there goes SGA driving, getting the contact, making the shot as he is falling.

02:29Tough, tough shot.

02:31How does he get it to go?

02:32Free throw is made.

02:33at 31 points, nine assists, five rebounds on the game.

02:38OKC up by 14 after that spectacular play.

02:43Then Kaysom Wallace drives and lobs it up to Jalen Williams, who goes and gets it for the stuff.

02:49Williams, 19 points, eight rebounds, five assists, five steals.

02:52OKC takes game one.
