Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Oklahoma City Thunder – Game 3 Live Stream & Full Preview for the Western Conference Finals
The Minnesota Timberwolves are preparing to return home and try to close the gap in the 2025 NBA Western Conference Finals, as they face the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 on Saturday night, trailing 0-2 in the series.
Minnesota dropped Game 2 on Thursday with a 118-103 loss, despite a strong performance from Anthony Edwards, who led the team with 32 points. Jaden McDaniels added 22 more.
As the team enters a pivotal moment in the postseason, the focus shifts to tightening up both mentally and physically before Saturday’s showdown.
“We’ve got to play like it’s do-or-die,” McDaniels said after the game. “Every possession, every second matters. We have to be locked in and play smart.”
Despite the defeat, there were some encouraging signs. In the fourth quarter, the Wolves raised their defensive intensity and made things more difficult for Oklahoma City. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who scored 17 points off the bench, emphasized the importance of carrying that energy into Game 3.
“In the fourth, we matched their energy, we flew around,” Alexander-Walker said. “It’s all about matching that intensity and bringing that same fire—especially in the third quarter where they usually turn up.”
Now back at the Target Center, Minnesota will rely on its strong home record (5-1 this postseason) and the energy of the home crowd to reset the tone of the series.
“They took care of business on their court,” said veteran guard Mike Conley. “Now we’ve got to do the same. Game 3 is the most important one. We’ve got to stay focused and give ourselves a chance to shift the momentum.”
