It felt like the season was on the line for the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. A 3-0 deficit against the imposing Oklahoma City Thunder would have been a tall order. But a cornered animal is the most dangerous animal, and the Wolves blew the Thunder out of the water with a 143-101 victory.
Minnesota won the first quarter 34-14 and never looked back. It won the second, third and fourth by 11, six and five points in a wire-to-wire blowout. With another home victory on Monday, the Wolves can push this to a best-of-three contest against a team many were ready to crown as champions after the first two games.
Game 4 is set to tip off on Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET. The Thunder open as 3.5-point favorites on the road on DraftKings Sportsbook. Oklahoma City is at -162 on the moneyline as well. The over/under is set at 218. We’ll see if the Wolves can keep the good times rolling and send things back to OKC knotted up.
