The Minnesota Timberwolves roared back to life in the Western Conference Finals, dismantling the Oklahoma City Thunder, 143-101, in Game 3 on their home floor to cut the series deficit to 2-1.

Anthony Edwards led a blistering Wolves offense with 30 points, as Minnesota raced to a 20-point lead after the opening quarter and never looked back, ballooning the gap to as many as 45.

 


 

Julius Randle added 24 points, while seven Timberwolves finished in double figures in a dominant team effort.

The Wolves’ defensive intensity also paid off, holding MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to just 14 points—his lowest output of the Playoffs.

Game 4 stays in Minnesota, where the Wolves look to even the series and build on their momentum.
