Timberwolves Aim to Even Series Against Thunder in Game 4

Minnesota, MN

The Minnesota Timberwolves will look to even their NBA Western Conference Finals series against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4 on Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET at the Target Center. The Timberwolves aim to recover from a crushing 42-point loss in Game 3.

Despite a stellar season, the Thunder struggled offensively in Game 3, with NBA MVP being held to just 14 points on 4-of-13 shooting. In contrast, the Timberwolves benefited from a balanced offensive attack, with six players scoring in double figures, showcasing their depth and adaptability.

Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, who has been crucial in their postseason run, is expected to continue his role as a key player. Similarly, Julius Randle’s recent performance of 24 points in Game 3 highlights his significance as Minnesota’s secondary scoring option.

The Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is also a focal point for Game 4, as he has consistently performed well against the Timberwolves, averaging 34.5 points in recent matchups. However, injuries could play a role in the game, as the Thunder’s roster faces some challenges.

Betting markets reflect the tight competition, with many experts predicting a closely contested matchup. Currently, the Timberwolves are getting 7.5 points on the spread against the Thunder, which has raised eyebrows due to the teams’ performance levels in the playoffs.

As the Timberwolves look to harness home-court advantage, the outcome of Game 4 will significantly impact the series’ momentum. With both teams eager for a win, excitement is building among fans.
