Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals between the OKC Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves was on Saturday night at the Target Center. The Timberwolves entered the contest down 0-2 after two unfruitful performances in Oklahoma City.

On the other hand, coach Mark Daigneault continued to rely on his lineup of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lu Dort, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. SGA, the 2025 NBA MVP, has been nearly unstoppable in the first two games of the series.
