But even with the loss, Wolves stars Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle were able to find something to laugh about after the game—though just what they found so funny takes a bit of investigative work.

It's Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder for a spot in the NBA Finals.

And although the Timberwolves lost Game 1 of the conference finals in a blowout against the No. 1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder, they've proved that they aren't your average No. 6 seed. Instead, they have a solid chance to become just the third No.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered 37 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, and three steals to power the Thunder past the Timberwolves in the first of a back-to-back set. Oklahoma City (46-10) shot a season-best 54% from three (19-of-35), with Chet Holmgren adding 19 points.

As he eyes the first title of his career and Minnesota's franchise history, here's a look back at each of the legends he's defeated along the way.

Anthony Edwards finished the close out victory with 22 points, seven rebounds, 12 assists, one steal and three blocks while shooting 8/15 from the field and 5/9 from the three-point range in 41 minutes of playing time.

Edwards predicted a year ago that Minnesota would make it back to the West finals. The Wolves dispatched the Warriors to prove him right.
