Timberwolves made sure to remind you that the series of NBA West finals … is not just finished. With a stormy appearance in Game 3, Minnesota leveled Oklahoma City with 143-101 and reduced the series to 2-1, forcing Thunder to the heaviest defeat of the season.
Anthony Edwards came in determined and showed it from the first quarter, in which he scored 16 points and distributed 2 assists, surpassing Oklahoma’s 14 points. The hosts closed the season at +20 (34-14), in a quarter that was the worst aggressive performance of this year’s guests.

Edwards finished the match with 30 points (12/17 shots), 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, leading their safe Timberwolves to a historic victory. The 143 points are a record for Minnesota playoffs, while the 42 -point difference is equivalent to the heaviest defeat of Thunder this year.

On the other hand, Sai Gilzie-Alexander was unrecognizable. It was limited to 14 points with 4/13 shots, just 4 shots and 6 assists, while the “Free Throw Merchant” were heard by the Timberwolves audience. No other Oklahoma player exceeded 13 points, and for the first time since March 25, Thunders were defeated in the battle of mistakes.
Game 4 will take place on Tuesday morning (27/5, 3:30) at the Target Center and is expected with great interest, as Timberwolves have the great opportunity to bring the order equal.
