Impressively bad on both offense and defense.

OKC seems like the type of team that will let the opponent wear themselves out and then they just turn up their defense in the second half and will hit everything.

These are the TWolves I recognize. When they clamp down defensively, this is what they're capable of.

Just a poor first half that doesn’t reflect his abilities.
He’d normally have at least 2 fouls by now too ;)

It’s a bold strategy they won’t be able to see very well Cotton

This is one of the rare instances in life when you fantasize about giving back everything you took but doing it twofold. This first half the Timberwolves are laying the beatdown doubly hard that they received in the first two games. Don't go thinking OKC can't pull some miraculous crap in the second half though. I hope it holds up, will bring back a huge amount of confidence.

No, not yet. A 3-1 series lead for a strong team like OKC is nearly insurmountable so the key game for Minnesota is Game 4. Win that and we’ll have a series.

Going up 2-0 at home is not a death sentence for any opposing team. We saw the 65 win #1 seed Phoenix Suns do the same to the Mavs a few years ago…. OKC handled business by protecting home court, which is good… but it’s not over.

I would say if the Minnesota wins BIG, then we have a series. They need to keep this up to send a message.
