Timberwolves celebrate strong victory against Thunder: 143-101 in the Conference final!

Minneapolis, USA - On May 25, 2025, the Minnesota Timberwolves celebrated an impressive comeback in the Western Conference finals. They won game three with 143: 101 against the Oklahoma City Thunder and thus reduced the series management of the Thunder to 2: 1. In a significant game that could change the dynamics of the series, the Timberwolves performed with strong performance.

Anthony Edwards was the outstanding player of the evening by scoring 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists in just three quarters. He was supported by Julius Randle, who contributed 24 points, and Rookie Terrence Shannon Jr., who scored 15 points in just 13 minutes. The Timberwolves thus showed a significant improvement compared to the two previous defeats in which they competed against the best defense of the NBA.

weak performance of the Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder, on the other hand, had a weak evening, with her Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the MVP of the regular season, only scored 14 points. His performance was particularly disappointing because he fought with 4 out of 13 attempts and four ball losses and was replaced in the third quarter when his team left 38 points. Despite these challenges, the backdrop set against him when he was confronted with whistles and mockery during the game.

The Thunder had difficulties with their throwing yield and met only 12 out of 40 throws in the first half, after a hit rate of 50 % in the first two games. The team under the direction of Coach Mark Daignault had to recognize the physical and aggressive style of play of the Timberwolves, who questioned its usual strength.

outlook for the next game

The next game, game four, will take place in Minneapolis on Monday. The Timberwolves will try to use the momentum from their dominant victory, while the Thunder are under pressure to improve their performance to attribute their series. Edwards ’improvement in the three-point threshold-he met 5 of 8 trials after he had only hit 1 out of 9 in the previous game-could continue to be crucial for the success of the Timberwolves.

In view of the current form and the difficulties of the Thunder, it remains to be seen how the series will develop, while the players of both teams are preparing for the upcoming challenges.
