Timberwolves Dominate Thunder Win Game 3 Western Conference Finals

The Oklahoma City Thunder, led by newly crowned MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, hold a 2-0 series lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals and are set to play Game 3 at the Timberwolves' home court, the Target Center in Minneapolis. Gilgeous-Alexander's standout performance, including 38 points in Game 2, has propelled the Thunder toward their first NBA Finals appearance since 2012. Despite the Timberwolves' struggles from outside shooting, with Anthony Edwards scoring 32 points, Minnesota's coach remains optimistic about turning the series around at home. Game 3 is scheduled for May 24 at 8:30 p.m. ET, broadcast on ABC, with streaming options available and potential free viewing via VPN accessing international streams. Tactical adjustments have been noted, including the Timberwolves' defensive strategy focusing on cutting off Jalen Williams' drives and Edwards using wider angles in pick-and-rolls to create shooting opportunities. The Thunder are known for their ability to generate scoring runs, which could be critical if Minnesota gains an early lead in the game.
