Anthony Edwards took over, and Julius Randle did it all as the Minnesota Timberwolves reclaimed control of their Western Conference semifinal series against Golden State.
Behind a 36-point explosion from Edwards and a triple-double from Randle, the Timberwolves edged the Warriors, 102–97, in Game 3 to take a 2–1 series lead and regain homecourt advantage on Sunday (PH time).

Randle delivered one of his finest all-around playoff performances with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists, orchestrating Minnesota’s offense and helping them withstand a fourth-quarter push from the shorthanded Warriors.
Golden State continued to miss the services of star guard Stephen Curry, who remained sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained in Game 1.
In his absence, Jimmy Butler stepped up with 33 points, while Jonathan Kuminga added 30, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Minnesota's duo.
