The thing here is that the Minnesota Timberwolves have no room for error anymore. They are one win away from being eliminated and play on the road. OKC has a match point, and given their home-court advantage, the Thunder have excellent chances of winning.
Minnesota Timberwolves News
The Timberwolves have lost Game 4, 128-126, and this is a massive blow to their plans. Even though the bench played superbly, Minnesota ended up on the losing side. Anthony Edwards was terrible, having 16 points and hitting one of his seven three-point shots. Julius Randle concluded the game with 5 buckets, and that was terrible.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 23, Jaden McDaniels 22, and Donte DiVincenzo 21 buckets. Though, even that couldn’t help the hosts, whose top players disappeared in critical moments.
OKC Thunder News
Thunder relied upon its diverse attack in Game 4 and outscored the Timberwolves. This team is very adaptable and can excel on both the defensive and offensive sides, and we’ve seen that throughout the entire playoffs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 40 points while adding 10 assists and 9 rebounds.
Jalen Williams was there to help with 34 buckets, and he looked perfect. Williams made 6 threes to stretch the T-Wolves defense. Oklahoma had 19 offensive boards, which might be the x-factor for the victory.
