But OKC is probably the best test of that, more than any other team in the NBA. The young Thunder team always looks reasonably engaged, and this simply led to their terrific regular season record, while the Wolves vacillated wildly.

I think the Wolves can win the series if they play three games harder than OKC, and make their shots. However, OKC is also a team known for playing hard. I’m excited to see tonight’s game!

Yep, when we are playing at our peak, we can beat anyone, the problem is, we rarely have done that this season or in the playoffs. I have been saying all playoffs I think we haven't had one A Timberwolves game yet, maybe game 1 against the Lakers.

Man, I hope Minnesota wins this game. Feels like things have lined up perfectly for Minnesota to have a real shot at winning it all (unlike last season, where Boston was pretty much guaranteed to nuke Minnesota out of orbit). OKC is really tough, though.

Refs are letting the game be physical. I think that benefits Minnesota, if that holds.

Bad screen form by Julius Randle there. What a dunk by Jaden McDaniels!

Critical game 4 - make it into a series or closing the door. I like our energy so far.

Jaden having 10 points in 6:22 is proof of concept. This is a guy who can easily be a 20 ppg 3rd option. Combine that with his defense and you have a 2nd most valuable player. I wouldn’t be surprised if our on off numbers tell a similar story.

Julius Randle's handle is absolutely brutal tonight. Whole team is sloppy, but his handles are rough to watch right now.
