The Timberwolves played against the Thunder at home on May 25. At the end of the game, the Timberwolves successfully defeated the Thunder 143-101. The Thunder played very well in the G1 and G2 games. On the other hand, the Timberwolves could not break through the Thunder's defense at all in the game. In addition, the Timberwolves' three-pointers on the outside were in poor condition, so the Timberwolves were able to play stalemate with the Thunder in the first half, but in the third quarter, the Timberwolves always collapsed. When such a situation occurred, the Thunder was infinitely optimistic. However, although the Timberwolves lost 2 games in a row, if the Timberwolves could defend their home court, there would be suspense in this round of series. The Timberwolves started in this game: Conley, Edwards, McDaniels, Randle and Gobert, and the Thunder started in Alexander, Dort, Jewy, Homgren and Harten.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Thunder with 42 points.

Alexander performed extremely well in the G1 and G2 games, but in today's game, he played very uncomfortable in the double-team of the Timberwolves. At this time, Alexander was in poor offensive form, and at the same time, Alexander had no way to cause damage and get free throw opportunities in the game. It can be said that when Alexander played like this, the Thunder fell behind more and more points. At the end of the game, Alexander made 4 of 13 shots, scored 14 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, including 4 of 4 free throws. At the same time, Alexander had a positive and negative value of -32, which was the lowest in the team. For other Thunder players, Jewe scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, Homgren scored 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, Harten scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, and Dort scored 6 points, 1 rebound.

Randall played badly in the G2 game, so Randall was once abandoned in the fourth quarter, but in today's game, Randall recovered strongly. It can be said that when Randall played aggressively, this was a very critical thing for the Timberwolves. At the end of the game, Randall made 9 of 15 shots and scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. As for Edwards, he saw the reality clearly. Edwards played badly in the first two games, which also made the Timberwolves very passive, but now Edwards finally got sober. In the game, Edwards was no longer obsessed with shooting three-pointers. When Edwards broke into the inside to score, Edwards also had some opportunities on the outside. At this time, Edwards also hit a three-pointer. When Edwards played so calmly, the Timberwolves could take the lead. At the end of the game, Edwards made 12 of 17 shots and scored 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.
