Spurs vs. Timberwolves: Why the Thunder should be rooting for Minnesota -- and a Game 7

The Oklahoma City Thunder swept the Los Angeles Lakers and are now awaiting their next opponent, while the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves battle in their playoff series. OKC would benefit from rooting for Minnesota to win and force a Game 7, as a longer series would give the Thunder more rest and a potentially more fatigued opponent. The outcome of the Spurs-Timberwolves series will determine Oklahoma City's next playoff matchup.
