The Oklahoma City Thunder didn’t just lose Game 3 — they got steamrolled, run over, and dunked into the history books by the Minnesota Timberwolves. The final score? A jaw-dropping 143-101. That’s not just a blowout — that’s an all-you-can-score buffet, and the Timberwolves feasted.
Chet Holmgren didn’t sugarcoat it afterward either. “It’s not complicated,” he said. “Wherever they wanted to go, they got there. They did what they wanted to do. We didn’t stop them.” And… he’s right. The Timberwolves looked like a cheat code out there.
This was OKC’s worst playoff loss ever. Meanwhile, Minnesota set a franchise playoff record for points in a game and nearly topped their all-time biggest playoff win. It was so lopsided, fans in the building started chanting, “We want (Joe) Ingles!” by the fourth quarter. That’s how far out of hand this one got.
Anthony Edwards didn’t even need a monster night to make this a blowout — the entire Wolves squad was locked in and lit up. And with the benches cleared and the damage done, this one will sting for OKC long after the final buzzer.
The Thunder now have a 2-1 in margin in the series, and unless they crank up the physicality and flip the energy, this could spiral quickly. Minnesota smelled blood — and if Game 3 was any sign, they’re not easing up anytime soon.
Game 4 can’t come soon enough for OKC.
