After the Oklahoma City Thunder outclassed the Timberwolves in the opening two games of the series, Minnesota punched back with a 143-101 victory. The series will remain in Minnesota for Game 4 as the Timberwolves look to replicate this type of performance.
This will be a fateful game for the future of the series. Teams have only been able to come back from a 3-1 series deficit at a 4.4% rate in NBA history, coming back to win in just 13 of the 294 opportunities. Minnesota approached the previous game with clear desperation and will need to replicate this if they want similar results.
