In a stunning turn of events, the Minnesota Timberwolves obliterated the Oklahoma City Thunder with a jaw-dropping 143-101 victory in Game 3 of their playoff series, igniting fresh hopes for a comeback. Stephen A. Smith declared, “Ant is really back!” as the Timberwolves showcased a new level of intensity and skill that had been absent in the first two games.

After a dismal start to the series, where many believed the Timberwolves were destined for a swift exit, they flipped the script in Minnesota. The team, led by the electrifying Ant-Man, Anthony Edwards, demonstrated a newfound physicality and proficiency, leaving the Thunder reeling. Ant, alongside Julius Randle, set the tone early, landing powerful dunks and hitting crucial shots that had fans roaring.

The Timberwolves, who had struggled with ball handling and shooting, found their rhythm and executed a game plan that left OKC scrambling. Coach Chris Finch lit a fire under his squad, prompting a performance that showcased their offensive prowess and defensive tenacity. The bench players stepped up, with rookie Terrence Shannon Jr. emerging as a spark plug, scoring nine points in just four minutes, igniting the team’s momentum.

Smith emphasized the importance of consistency moving forward, stating that if this Timberwolves team shows up again in Game 4, they could very well force a Game 7. As the series hangs in the balance, all eyes will now be on Minnesota to see if they can maintain this level of play and continue their quest for playoff glory. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the Timberwolves have put the league on notice: they’re ready to fight back.
