The Thunder could use a bit of help from a Western Conference foe.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are awaiting to find out who will be their opponent in the Western Conference Finals. OKC has had plenty of rest, as they swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round, and are now waiting to see if they will face the San Antonio Spurs or the Minnesota Timberwolves in round three.

The Spurs are the current frontrunners to meet OKC in the next round, as they are up 3-2 in the series. While Oklahoma City has the talent to compete with any team at any time, the Thunder could be seeking aid from the Timberwolves to make sure San Antonio doesn’t meet OKC so soon, or maybe not at all.

More rest always helps, especially when you need the rest.…
