The Thunder hold a 2-1 series lead. A chance to deliver a deadly blow, the Thunder looked complacent in their 143-101 Game 3 loss to the Timberwolves on Saturday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was held to 14 points. It was the worst playoff loss in OKC history.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves excelled in a do-or-die situation. Anthony Edwards scored 30 points in three quarters. Julius Randle had 24 points. Terrence Shannon Jr. tallied 15 points. Seven Minnesota players scored double-digit points.

This will be the biggest game of the series. If the Thunder win, it could still be a quick series. If the Timberwolves win, get ready for a long series. After a Game 3 embarrassment, expect the first seed to play much better out of pure pride. Gilgeous-Alexander usually bounces back from a subpar game. So does the rest of OKC. It’s rarely lost two in a row. Edwards responded with his back against the wall. The MVP winner should do the same.
Prediction: Thunder 103, Timberwolves 94
