The weakness is obvious, Zach Lowe worried that the Timberwolves main flaws may lead to a loss in the Thunder

The Timberwolves' turnover rate is quite high, which may become a big problem for them against the Thunder.

Although many people did not expect it, the Minnesota Timberwolves were only four games away from entering the NBA Finals. The Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Lakers in five games to start the playoffs, and then they beat the Golden State Warriors in just five games. Now, the Minnesota Timberwolves will advance to the Western Conference Finals, with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder are the top team in the Western Conference and the big hit in this series. However, the Timberwolves were at a disadvantage in both rounds of the NBA playoffs, but they remained competitive.

This will be a challenging series for Minnesota. There is a reason the Thunder ended up being number one, and the Timberwolves have little room for mistakes in this series. They especially need to make sure they have better control over the ball.

"What I really worry about is that Minnesota has to have better control over the ball than in the past few years, and at any time in the playoffs so far," NBA insider Zach Lowe said in one of his podcasts. "If it's a series with high turnover rate, they'll lose it all. If it's a series with average turnover rate, they still have a glimmer of hope."

If the Timberwolves can keep the turnover rate at a minimum, they'll likely have a glimmer of hope in the series against the Thunder. If they can't control the turnover, the game may not go smoothly.

"If it's a low-turnover series for them and it's extremely tough against the strongest team in the league, then they have a chance to win the series; but if it's a high-turnover series, they're done," Love continued. "They ranked 19th in the regular season turnover rate, and the playoffs have a higher turnover rate than the regular season."

Julius Randle is a player worth watching in terms of turnovers. He performed well in the playoffs, but he averaged 3.1 turnovers per game. This is the most players of all the Timberwolves. Minnesota Timberwolves' main ball handler Anthony Edwards averaged 2.3 turnovers per game.

According to Zach Lowe, this is the key to the Timberwolves winning the series. If you control the ball, they will have a chance. The first game of the Western Conference Finals will be held Tuesday night. The Timberwolves and Thunder game will start at 7:30 pm CST at the Oklahoma City Paycom Center, and the game will be broadcast live on ESPN. Oklahoma City is currently leading by 7.5 points.
