ESPN is trying out some new technology for its broadcast of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals.

NBA official Scott Foster was bloodied on Thursday night during Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and Timberwolves.

The NBA has made a historical announcement regarding Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander during their series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

NBA Playoffs have reached the conference finals stage, and for the first time in league history, there is guaranteed to be a new champion for a seventh consecutive season. The No. 1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 to set up a meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals.

After the Oklahoma City Thunder punched their ticket to the Western Conference Finals with Sunday's Game 7 win over the Denver Nuggets, prognosticators expect them to go all the way.

The Boston Celtics are widely expected to consider making cost-cutting moves during the upcoming NBA offseason. While Jayson Tatum seems safe, names like Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis could potentially be available for the right price.

The Dallas Mavericks hold the biggest Game 7 blowout in league history with their 116–76 win over the Houston Rockets in 2005—Yao Ming led all scorers with 33 points on the night, but he and Tracy McGrady were the only Rocket to reach double digits. Jason Terry led the scoring for the Mavs with 31 points.
