With Anthony Edwards once again taking charge, the Minnesota Timberwolves dominated the Oklahoma City Thunder with a 143-101 win in Game 3 on Saturday. This victory was crucial for Minnesota, as they were on the brink of falling into a 0-3 hole in the series.

Down 0–2 in the best-of-seven series, the 23-year-old put his team on his back to start Saturday night's game three, scoring 20 points on 8 for 11 shooting in the first half while also hauling in eight rebounds and—most importantly—building a 31-point, 72–41 lead over the Thunder.

The same was far from the case for Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had an off night in Game 3. The newly crowned NBA MVP scored just 14 points on 4-of-13 from the field, to go along with two rebounds, six assists and four turnovers. It was clear who won the battle between the two superstars on Saturday night.
