“Every minute in the series is a chance to find something, um, you know. So, uh, we’re going to go back home. This is a, you know, good team at home. So we’re going to go home and, um, you know, fight for game three,” said Chris Finch in the aftermath of Game 2 of the Timberwolves-OKC series. For many, the hope for the Timberwolves to reach the Finals series had gone down in the mud after the first two games were lost. Stephen A. Smith, despite highlighting some optimism, had said, “I’m looking at the Thunder sweeping the Timberwolves… I will be happy if they win a game.” Fortunately, the team now makes good use of the home-court advantage. Their recent performance is leaving a major blow on the OKC squad, causing them to find relief in other things.
By halftime of Game 3 of the Timberwolves-OKC series, the former squad led by a 72-41 score. The gap only increased by the end of the 3rd quarter, with a 107-70 score favoring the Timberwolves. After 2 games in which Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made good use of home-court advantage, the tide finally seems to have turned against them.

In light of this, the OKC community had to look for a positive in this bleak atmosphere. This led to experienced announcer Doris Burke catching strays.
