The Minnesota Timberwolves were the best and best as they secured a 143-101 blowout victory against the OKC Thunder in Game 3 of the Conference Semis.

Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle stepped up for their team as they scored 54 points in the evening.

The bench also stepped up for the Minnesota Timberwolves as he scored 66 points in a victory in the OKC Thunder.

Rookie Terrence Shannon Jr. scored 15 points, especially for the Timberwolves, earning more points than the other Thunder starters.

League MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander spent a rest night as he only managed 14 while shooting 4-13 from the field.

The Guard had two great games to start the series, but the resilient defensive performance from the Timberwolve in Game 3 made it difficult for SGA to score.

Jaden McDaniels revealed what led him to push the SGA in Game 2, and the reason is that the MVP has received many foul calls, making life difficult for Timberwolf.

However, in Game 3, the 26-year-old went to the charity stripes only four times, and was well protected by the Timberwolves defense.

When asked by the media, coach Chris Finch first responded to what the team made for the SGA differently, comically saying, “Do you really want you to say it?”

He said: “We were offensive everywhere, we thought it was a bit clean around him.

In the first two games of the series, SGA scored 31 and 38 points, respectively.

The 14-point performance is his lowest season, and Finch is hoping that players will step up when both sides meet again.

“He’s an incredible player and he doesn’t spend too many nights like this, so we feel lucky for it and we’ll move on to Monday,” Finch added.

Edwards was delighted with his team’s performance in Game 3 victory over Thunder.

It was the way they kept the SGA quiet all night long that led them down their path.

The Timberwolves have the league’s best defensive player, with Rudy Gobert leading the line.

If they can continue their incredible work with Gilgauss Alexander, they will get a positive result as the Timberwolves are the main man of lightning.

OKC has players like Alex Caruso and Casson Wallace, who are also elite defenders.

The duo can also place clamps on the Timberwolve. So it’s important that Finch’s team fit the strength of the Thunder.

When Game 4 is played at home, they have advantages and momentum, but if they win, they need to ensure that all players continue playing at a high level.
