MINNEAPOLIS — After Julius Randle scored a close mid-range jumper, he turned to the crowd and pointed down at the court. The crowd was too loud to hear what he said, but you could mouth the words. Minnesota was back home and played like it.
The Oklahoma City Thunder were destroyed in a 143-101 Game 3 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was the worst loss of their playoff run and likely won't get topped the rest of the way.
Besides scoring the first four points, the Timberwolves quickly established themselves as the hungrier squad.
