Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves dominated the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday night to make this a series. The Timberwolves took Game 3 by an overwhelming 143-101 for their first win of the Western Conference finals.

Edwards came out throwing haymakers. When your best player exerts his dominance, others feel more comfortable to fulfill their roles. Suddenly, the 3-pointers of everyone else started to fall. Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo all started raining down triples with confidence.

The T’Wolves held the Thunder scoreless for nearly five minutes, ripping off a 25-5 run. The Timberwolves grabbed their largest lead of the series in that opening frame. They forced five turnovers from OKC, while out-rebounding them, 14-8.

Anthony Edwards scores 30 points in three quarters and Julius Randle adds 24 as Minnesota cuts Oklahoma City’s series lead to 2-1 in a 143–101 win.

Oklahoma City Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said pregame his team was expecting a "haymaker" from the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were facing a 2-0 series deficit heading into Game 3 of the Western Conference finals Saturday night.

Gilgeous-Alexander had five straight 30-point games, averaged 29.7 points in the seven-game semifinals and 27.8 in the first round. You must rewind to the first game of that opening series to spot the last time he was underwhelming, and it didn’t matter then; OKC won by 52 points over Memphis.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves are the two teams left standing in the West, but the Thunder are standing tall and off to a blazing start in the conference finals. OKC has cruised in the first two games against Minnesota,
