The Minnesota Timberwolves bounced back from consecutive defeats against the Oklahoma City Thunder, winning Game 3 at home.
It was almost impossible to return to this Thunder team 3-0, so the Timberwolves simply had to win Saturday night.
You can also argue that Game 4 is a must-see. Otherwise, the series returns to Oklahoma City, with the home team holding a 3-1 advantage.
Naz Reid recalls the start of Timberwolves to Western Conference Finals so far and how to prevent Anthony Edwards from happening when it gets difficult.
Lead is one of the most important bench players in the entire NBA. He consistently lists around 15 points and six rebounds with efficient shooting.
However, the 25-year-old has only scored 24 points in three total Western Conference Finals games.
Reed was asked after the Timberwolves’ Game 3 victory and scored 10 points in 19 minutes.
His answer proved that Edwards is blossoming as a team leader not only on the court but also behind the scenes.
“No, I’ve never beat myself,” he said. “I mean, you don’t really get down on yourself, especially when you’re around the ants.
“The games come and go. A great night comes. The next day, you may have a bad night. You have to try and find a way to be consistent.
“I think I’ve been pretty consistent throughout the playoffs. I think to myself, ‘They’re going to fall, the shots are going to fall.’ As long as I’m doing other things to stay on the court, that’s important. ”
The Timberwolves should use their 42-point blowout victory as a stepping stone to head to Game 4. They need to maintain their chances to replicate the same intensity.
The Thunder will have points to prove on Monday night, especially after falling in such an embarrassing way, as Shy Gilgauss Alexander scored just 14 points.
“This is just the first step in the right direction,” Reid explained. “There is a lot more basketball to play and there is more hard work to achieve.
“We won tonight. We have to convey this mentality and aggression from tonight until Monday.”
It was when Reid performed another 20 points in these NBA playoffs and there was no more time to stream.
