As wolves fans, we know all too well how Jekyll and Hyde the wolves are. You know what they’re capable of but never know what you’re going to get.

Great performance from your team. I said many times on the general board and Thunder board that it wasn't over. OKC was terrible on the road during all playoffs so I think OKC in 7 or Wolves in 6 are the two most likely scenarios. Gonna be a long series.

We really are lucky to have Ant. Even if we lose this series, I still feel good about the future as long as we have Ant.

I have to give Finch plenty of credit for making some big changes tonight especially on defense. Bringing Rudy out more to contest lane drives and floaters by their bigs. AND using TSJR.

Amazing when guys are making shots compared to when they are not. It's really that simple.

Great effort tonight, not much TO, good defense on SGA, we beat them on the board, good shooting...and we can rest starters for game 4. Perfect night.

They lost two games total before this series and have been a top 5 team since like January. They're just plain really good

TSJ has more points than any Thunder player in game 3. Wow, just wow!

Something to be said about bringing in an experienced college player vs a one and done.

I'm a little confused. We're winning this quarter.

Eh I was behind and it started out poorly.

OK I understand now. You were way behind.

It really is that simple. Make shots and you're going to win most of the time.

This was the best Finch game in a LONG time. He had these guys out for BLOOD early. He had everyone but SGA picked up higher and SGA picked up lower. They went on an 11-2 run to start the 3rd, so Finch calls time out, settles the guys down, and we go on a 10-0 run to put the game away. I give credit when it is do, and Finch had these guys READY!!!

I don't want to be a hater up forty, but man... Josh Minott is a brutal watch on defense.

I see Leonard Miller getting a little run. No Luka Garza?
