First trip to the free throw line for him in this one. The free throw dropped for Randall. and Randall just continuing to fight out there. Whether you’re looking at his career or any individual game, this guy just doesn’t back down. [Applause] and Randall drops them both.

Back to Heel. And there’s the screen. Here’s Post. The basket drops and he gets fouled on the shot. One free throw coming his way. Well healed right there on the yield waiting for someone to get open. [Applause] One shot. [Applause] And the free throw no good. And keeping us updated from the sideline, Ali Leforce. Head coach Steve Ker and I got a chance to talk for a bit. I asked him how Rudy Goar alters their usual game plan. Coach acknowledged that he’s a factor and said Rudy definitely demands more from us offensively. We have to be careful where we put our shooters with him waiting for SWAT. Coach thinks intelligent offense is what it takes to beat Goar. Back to you. Okay, thank you Ally. Switch Butler against McDaniels. outside. Green launches a three and Connley grabs the miss. And here’s Minnesota now. Randle a screen on heel. Connelly passes to go. Here’s Randall and he drops in the layup off the glass. Bit of a picture perfect start here to this game. They’ve connected on all three looks. Warriors trail by four and Steve Kerr calls timeout. He wants to give him a breather and talk things over. [Applause] And that’s going to end. [Applause] Butler passes to Green outside for Jimky. Back to Green. Heel. The screen on Goar. Six to shoot. Back to Pajimski. Hits the trifecta. Now, Draymond Green, we know he plays with attitude. He plays with force, but his teammates appreciate the unselfish approach he has. Now here’s Connley. Pass to McDaniels. Picked by Gobear. McDaniels. That’s good. McDaniels got his second bucket. They can’t miss. Four for four and warming up the burners. Outside Butler. And here in the first quarter, a little over three and a half minutes played. Heielded against Connley. Green with a screen on Connley. Double by Randall and it’s healed missing. Well, he had the perfect opportunity to finish that one, guys. Just flat out blew it. Randle the pass to Edwards. Offline with a three. Well, due for a miss after four of five to begin this one. It’s healed with a drive. Basket’s good. Heield’s got five, but he’s showing more than just the fact that he’s a shooter. Working his way strength on the inside there outside McDaniels. [Applause] Rebounded by Green. That’s their plan to get him an opportunity to finish in tight. That’s a miss they can live with. And the basket by Heel. And it’s Connley with the ball for the Timberwolves trailing by two outside. [Applause] Edwards. Shot clock at five. Nifty move. And he was fouled while in the act of shooting. So he’ll take two free throws. Well, we know Edwards has an impressive skill set, but what really separates him is the competitive edge that he plays [Applause] with. The first free throw is good. [Applause] And both free throws good for Edwards. At this point, you might as well go ahead and chalk up the points when he’s at the free throw line. Pretty much automatic. Field passes to Green outside Butler. Pass to Pajimsky. Outside heel Green with a screen on Connley. He was all alone on that one. Heels got 11. Pretty easy right now. Clear out. Give him some space. Let him get to work. Randle pass to Edwards. for three. Count it from distance. Give him eight points. Now these teams are finding the range, showing a lot of confidence. It seems like they’re going to find out who can make the deepest threes right now. It’s a shootout. And Steve Kerr calls timeout here. He wants to make sure everybody’s on the same [Applause] page. Heat up here. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] Good morning. [Applause] Golden State has gone four of five from distance here in the first quarter. Outside [Applause] Pajki and there’s another one for the Warriors. They keep capturing the lead then giving it back. We’ll see if they can hold on to it this time. Well, you can tell they really want to increase this lead. You can’t keep letting them take it. Edwards against Green. Oh, it’s blocked by Green. You can see Draymond Green so fired up every time he has a chance to impact the game defensively. And let’s take a moment to get your take, guys, on the scoring so far for the Warriors. Well, in today’s NBA, the three-point shot is so valuable. They realize this and that’s why they’re continuing to drain as many as they can. So much good energy and flow tonight and that has really come out of great ball movement. Guys have been open and as soon as they are they get the ball and the first one at the line is good. Butler gives you so much toughness and determination. This guy can really impact what the culture of your team is all about. And the Warriors making a switch here. Kumingas checked in. Butler hits them both. Always one of the hardest workers on his team. Jimmy Butler knows how to win. Connley passes to McDaniels. Back to Connley. A strong finish under heavy pressure from the D. And despite the height disadvantage, oh my, he just attacks that interior. Yeah, no stopping him on that play. Sometimes even the taller defenders are helpless to stop him. Back to Pajimski. Clock at six. Jacks up a three. McDaniels with the rebound. Minnesota has gone two for three from outside the arc. Here’s Edwards. The kick out to Connley. Fires from deep. Buries it from three. Connley’s got five. Just a smart offensive player. Connley is aware of when he should look to rise and fire. I love it. Hey yo, right here. Back to Pajki. Right side. Green outside. Pajki Green with a screen on Edwards to the middle and blocked. That one goes careening off the glass. Pass to Randall. Misses the baby hook. The Warriors trailing. Green with the ball. Randle’s in his pocket. How about Draymond rising up into the contact. He’s a good offensive player who finds his way this time to get to the free throw line. And a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for the Timberwolves. They’ve done a great job establishing an inside presence. Now that’ll open up more options offensively throughout the remainder of the game. Well, I like that they’ve also emphasized the three-point line. That’s a big difference maker. The first one falls. So much glue in this guy as Draymond focuses on making all the winning plays that he possibly can. And some changes here for the Warriors. Jackson Davis has checked in for Butler. Moody comes in for healed. And Spencer subbed in for Pajinsky. Denzo, he’s checked in for the Timberwolves. And both free throws good for Green. Amazing to think about Draymond Green and the career arc he’s had thus far. He really can guard any position on the floor. He can make plays. Really a unique talent. Steps back. Here’s Randall. Oh, and he took a hard foul on the shot. So, he’ll head to the line to shoot a pair. Man, he made sure to get his money’s worth on that foul. And this will be his third and fourth free throws of the game here. [Applause] [Applause] The free throw dropped for Randall. Peyton’s checked in for [Applause] [Applause] Green and Randall drops them both. [Applause] The Warriors have gotten seven of their first 12 shots to go. Pass to Jackson [Applause] Davis. Down low. Here’s Kuminga. Uses the glass on the layup and the Warriors lead by one. Nothing that D can really do there. They should work on pushing Kuminga maybe a little further out. Enzo finds Randle. And here’s Conley. Pass to go drills the baseline jumper. The floor general Connley dependable at finding his guys in screen and roll sets. The Warriors have got eight of 13 attempts to go. Jackson Davis with it outside. Payton. Moody with it. Yet to see a basket. Just five on the clock. Back to Peyton. Golden State needs to get off a shot. And here’s Kaminga for three. Rebound Minnesota. So far, rebounding has been a focal point for them. Outside for Randall takes a three. And the three-pointer goes. Randle’s got nine. When you have Randall on your team, he’ll space out that floor. Here’s Spencer. He’s guarded by Connley. [Applause] Outside Moody and he lobbs it up and it’s out of bounds. Last touch by Moody. A sloppy turnover. When you’re not locked in, you pay the price. And the fans love seeing incredible moments on defense like that block. Yeah, this is the elevated energy level you expect in the postseason, chasing down blocks and making an impact. [Applause] And here’s Minnesota now. They’re on a 12-4 run. Outside Devincenzo and Randall the bucket on the assist by Dvenenzo. And now a six-point Minnesota lead. Golden State has gone four of seven from three-point range here in the first outside. Moody out to the [Applause] wing. Kuminga against Randall. Left side. Kuminga. Pass to Moody. Let’s go with a three. Randle pulls down the board. Minnesota leading by six. Oh, a twohanded power slam. Oh my goodness. Anthony Edwards. Wow. Oh, doing damage above the rim. That was our AT&T 5G slam cam. And the Warriors with possession here. A minute 29 left to play in the first quarter. Pass to Payton from 15 ft away. Gets rebounded by [Applause] Minnesota. Outside Randle right side shoots over Kaminga. Randle good. Randle’s got 13. Hey, they’re just getting pushed around inside. A minute four left in the first quarter. Here’s Jackson Davis. [Applause] Inside. Here’s Moody. And the officials whistle a foul on the shot. The bucket is good. And he’ll go to the line. And they keep trading punches. Both teams in a groove early. Who’s going to miss first? Every time one team scores, the other team right back at you. And he’s got his first opportunity at the line here tonight. McDaniels is checked in for Minnesota. One shot. [Applause] So, it’s Minnesota now. Seven-point differential outside Alexander Walker. 36 seconds left in the first quarter. Pass to Reed. Nice start for him. Sinking his first shot. And sometimes the simplest play is the best one. Denzo made it. Golden State has gone four of eight from outside in this first quarter. Here’s Spencer. Denzo covering. Nice shot by Kuminga. Kuminga’s gotten his second bucket of the game. Two teammates connecting right there. Slick feed now. Alexander Walker. [Applause] No good on the buzzer beater. What a performance for Julius Randall. He has been the story for the Timberwolves. His fingerprints were all over that quarter. 13 points, leading the charge. We’ll be right back with you shortly. Continuing our coverage of the Western Conference semi-finals. Glad to have you back. And before we move on, what do you guys think about what we’ve seen from the Timberwolves? Yeah, showing grit on the glass is a good way to gain an advantage. They control the boards in the first. Well, if you get physical out there, you can control the glass and that helps you to control the pace of the game. Minnesota leading by seven. On the court for the Timberwolves, we’ve got Nquille Alexander Walker Edwards out there with Dante Devincenzo. Then there’s Nas Reed and it’s Randall in at the four spot. Pass to Butler to the inside. It’s rebounded by Minnesota. A lot of defenders choose to just back up off of him when he’s in that tight. Try to avoid the in one. And this time they’re not backing off. Counted. And you know, coach loves seeing his offense operate at this level. Great passing out there. Left side Butler. Here’s Pajki. And it’s all from three-point range. And so Randall will bring it up for the Minnesota Timberwolves. They’ve got a nine-point lead. Edwards, no good. Oo, he missed an easy chance to put some points on the board. He won’t get a much better look at that kind of shot again here probably tonight. Heel passes to Butler. Pajimky with it. Guarded by Edwards. Six on the shot clock to the paint. Jackson Davis with a bucket. Yeah, even though heel can pull up from anywhere, you love that he’s always looking to find a shot for his teammate. Edwards on the move. Some solid defense from Butler. You told me this was the kind of game he was going to have. I would not have expected them to be in front right now. And it’s heel missing. I think he rushed that one just a little bit thinking the defense was going to get close. They weren’t. And the basket by Edwards shooting the three with confidence. That’s exactly what this team needs from Edwards. Pass to heel to the wing on the [Applause] left. Outside [Applause] Butler, the teardrop and he was fouled in the act of shooting. opportunity for a three-point play here. Yeah, pretty good show of strength there by Jimmy Butler. Able to convert even after the hit. And this will be a second trip to the free throw line. Looney’s checked in for the Warriors. Key comes in for Kaminga. What’s up Minnesota leading by [Applause] seven. Here’s Edwards. He’s got 13. Out of bounds. It’ll go to the Warriors. Golden State has gone four of nine so far from the perimeter. Pass to Key. Here’s Heel. Devenzo covering Looney. A screen on Devincenzo. Devenzo against Heel. Now Looney. Four on the clock. Here’s Pajki to the left wing. Here’s Key. Offensive rebound. Here’s Looney outside for Butler. The three is up. Reed with the rebound. Minnesota in the lead. Outside. Alexander Walker pass to Reed. The fader. The Warriors pull it in. Well, the defense was right up on him, so electing to go for the fadeaway there to create some room. Well, that makes sense. And the Warriors miss again. He’s been just a little off the mark tonight. Really the story of the game so far. Vincent pass to Alexander Walker. He against Edward. It’s blocked and he’s able to get it back. hacked and still knocks it down. Great composure there. Just looks like he’s got more feel tonight. Like he’s really got a good grip on that ball as he’s letting it go. This will be his third trip to the free throw line. Some changes for Minnesota. Go Bear’s checked in for Reed and Connley subbed in for Deviant Chenzo. [Applause] [Applause] And here in the second quarter of action as we approach four minutes played and Steve Cerr calls timeout. A moment to rest and confer on the game plan. One of the stories here, Julius Randle, he is getting it done today with the amount of damage he’s doing inside. A defensive adjustment must be [Applause] made. Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Reeds checked in for the Timberwolves. [Applause] And almost four minutes gone in the second quarter of play. High post Green. He’s against Goar Green. A screen. Knocks the pass to Heel. Just five to shoot. Here’s Post. Lets the three fly and the Warriors miss again. I’ll tell you what, they’ve rebounded the ball tremendously well. Connley with the ball and it’s heel picking him up. Connley passes to Alexander Walker. The Warriors pull it in. Well, he’s a guy they count on to produce from the mid-range. He doesn’t miss too many open looks from there. Green against Goar Green. The pass to Heel. And again. No good by Golden State. Ah, you love basketball. Couldn’t miss in the first quarter. Now can’t make it in the second quarter. Got to be eating at him just a bit. Here’s Edwards. That one’s good. And it’s Connley who picks up the assist. Connley’s got his third assist of the night. Warriors trail by 12. They’ve been having major problems offensively. Definitely in a bit of a dry spell. Green with a screen on Connley. Here’s Hee. missed it. Four for eight in the contest. And it’s Edwards with the ball for the Minnesota Timberwolves. They’ve only allowed five points in the quarter. Pass to Reed. Now here’s Goar from downtown. Oh, and he can’t make that one. Two for three now. His first miss. And for the Warriors, they’re shooting only 39% so far in the game. And he’s headed to the line for two. He gets the whistle there. Sign of maturation here as Knox showing ways in which he can draw fouls. He’s getting his first free throw attempts of the night now. Take a break. Take a break. Two shots. And he drops him first. And the Warriors making a change here. Santos has checked in. Randall, he’s checked in for the Timberwolves. McDaniels comes in for Alexander Walker. [Applause] Good on both. This is how you stay in the game. They’re doing a beautiful job from the line. 100% this quarter. Edwards. A pass to Connley. Back to Edwards. Warriors with the rebound. Here’s Knox to the inside. Pass to Post over McDaniels and Post gets it to go. Post has got his second bucket on the night. Here’s Connley. He’s got five. And here’s McDaniels inside. Here’s Randle. Oh, Green with a block. Wow. Gritty defense from Draymond showing how tough it is. And great timing on goes up again. The kick out to Edwards. Pass to Connley. Now here’s Randall. fires the three. Edward. Yes, sir. Wow. Wow. Can you say immediate entry into the highlight reel? Woo! What a dunk, PA. It’s showtime now, man. They’ve built up a lead and they’re starting to rub it [Applause] in. Here’s Knox. Takes it into the teeth of the D and converts the layup. Well, you love to see that Knox just inviting the contact and doesn’t mind it one bit. Wants to show he’s got the strength outside McDaniels. Pass to Randall. Randall draws the double. Blocked and it’s out of bounds to Minnesota. And you got to be in awe of incredible defensive efforts like this. You know that block has him and his teammates all pumped up. That is what playoff basketball is all about. And the Warriors make some changes. Peyton’s checked in for Santos. Moody comes in for Knox. And Spencer subbed in for Pajinsky. And the Timberwolves also making a change. Devenzo’s checked [Applause] in. Shot clock at six. And the shot goes down. Connley’s gotten his third basket of the night. He drops yet another dive. Just facilitating this offense like a maestro. Here’s Spencer. He’s guarded by Connley outside. Moody rebounded by the Timberwolves. Devenenzo’s got four rebounds in the game and right now they’re plus eight in the rebounding category. That’s helping them run away with this. Randle deciding where to go with it. Off the mark with the outside fade away. It’s been an ugly quarter for him. Trying to shoot his way out of it. Might be time to work on the playmaking skills. Green. The pass to Moody. Here’s Spencer outside. Green. Pass to post for three. And that comes off the assist by Green. Green’s got his third assist of the night. He does so much out there to stretch out the defense when he’s out on the perimeter and he drains the triple. Connley passes to Devenzo. And here’s Randall over Peyton. Randall can’t hit. He needs to try to get another basket this quarter because clearly his jumper is not going down right now. Moody misses. Minnesota leading by seven. McDaniels passes to [Applause] Connley. Here’s Go Bear out left to the wing. Green against Connley. The Timberwolves need to get off a shot here with three. Devincenzo. The rebound by Post. Post has got four rebounds in the game. Green in the post. Working on McDaniels. Oh, Green just outworking the competition. There’s so much confidence in what he can do out there on the floor. Draymond blanketed that time, but on the inside finds a way to collect two more. And that one good. McDaniel’s got six. Rock the baby working the size advantage inside. Here’s Spencer. He’s guarded by Connley. Pass to Payton. They set the pick. Oh, plenty of contact on that shot. Officials call the foul and he’ll take two free throws now. Rudy Goar picks one up. GP2 being a second generation star that that comes with some challenges, but he’s definitely his own man out there on the floor. Shooting two. First free throw is good. Jackson Davis has checked in for the Warriors. Jonathan Kaminga comes in for Green. [Applause] So, hits one and misses one at the line. I’ll tell you what, they’ve been aggressive and they’ve been physical. Pass to Randall. Back to [Applause] Devenenzo. Now here’s Randall. The three. Kept alive. Go Bear with the follow. And I love how they’re working much harder on the glass this quarter and drumming up more second chance opportunities. 119 left to play in the first half. And so he draws the foul. Headed to the line to shoot a pair. Heading play to stop that easy layup right there. I mean, make him earn it at the line. He’s made one and missed one so far at the line. Shooting two. And he makes it first. [Applause] That’s also good. So he hits both free throws. And so Connley will bring it up for the T- Wolves. They held a 12-point lead earlier. Pass to Randall. 103 left in the second quarter. And a foul called on the way up. So he’ll take two from the free throw line. Trace Jackson Davis picks one up. Well, he goes in there and you’re worried about getting bumped if you’re a defender by Julius Randle, not the other way around. So physical. [Applause] That free throw no good. Jimmy Butler’s checked in for the Warriors. [Applause] [Music] And he sinks the second. Warriors trail by [Applause] seven. Fade away. Nice spin off the left rim and in. Butler’s got seven points. And don’t call him Jimmy Buckets for nothing. Minnesota has gone five of 12 from three-point range tonight. Connley finds Goar Venzo with it. Outside McDaniels down low. Here’s Randall. And it’s Randall with the jam. Now Randall right now going to town on the defense and taking over this game. Butler against McDaniels. Butler on the bounce. Here’s Spencer. Three-pointer. No good. Their strong work ethic has been evident on the glass. really getting after it and being physical. Gets the three to fall and now a 10-point Timberwolve lead. And the shooting numbers just keep going up and up for Dante. Here’s Spencer. He got it up in time, but it would not fall for him. And we finished off one half of play. It’s Minnesota up by 10. Well, now a minute to check in with Ally Leforce. She’s courtside. Hey, Ally. here with coach Steve Kirk. Your defense struggling to contain them in the first half. How do you remedy it? We got to get back in transition. We got to make them feel us. You know, they’re just running anything they want. We’ve got to at least disrupt the stuff they’re trying to do. Thank you, coach. All right, Ally. Thanks for that. We will see everyone right back after this break. Ready for the second half. Greetings everybody. Game three met it’s a huge lead for the Minnesota Timberwolves. One of the best ways to control the game, take care of the boards. Don’t give up second chance points. And at the offensive end, when you can turn misses into makes, that’s found money. Looking at the series breakdown for the Warriors, they were able to take a game on the road, capturing homecourt advantage. Shaq, how important is game three for them? Well, game three is always huge. They took care of business on the road. Now they have to hit you guys with the big word. Now they have to capitalize on it. Oo. Well, it won’t be easy, but I’m going to make a prediction, guys. You ready? No. But whoever wins this game three, they win the series. That is bold, Kenny. I sort of like it. Thanks for joining us. Time to head back over to the third quarter with Brian [Applause] Anderson. And welcome back to our coverage of game three on 2K Sports. Julius Randall has been sensational. He’s been dominating down low. Got to assume they’ll keep feeding him the rock. Oh man, pouring it on right now. And why wouldn’t you? [Applause] [Applause] Minnesota leading by 10. Green out there with Jimmy Butler. Then it’s Buddy Heel. Then there’s Brandon Pachinsky. And it’s Post in at the center position, walking down the middle. And that’s the group for Steve Kerr as we begin the second half. He’s not the guy that you want to give a wideopen look from three-point range. They’re lucky that that one doesn’t cost them. Pass to heel. Back to Green. Down to five on the shot clock. Here’s Post. Off target from three-point range. Minnesota has gone six of 14 from the perimeter tonight. It’s McDaniels on the wing. [Applause] Randle outside and count the basket. He was fouled and he’s going to the line for one more. This is his fifth trip to the free throw line. [Applause] Find the leg. Find the leg. What’s up? [Applause] Warriors trail by 13. Outside Pajki and with a little over a minute gone by, the second half is underway. The shot by Butler. No good. They’ve shown the power inside. Their rebounding effort has been sensational. Connley looking for an opening. Green against Goar. Pass to McDaniels. Five to shoot. And here’s Edwards outside. Rebounded by Green. Green’s got four rebounds now. Outside Butler. Healed against McDaniels. Green with a screen on McDaniels. Healed from outside. Gets rebounded by Minnesota. Go Bear’s got rebound number 11. Outside Edwards. Pass to [Applause] Randall. Go with a screen on Butler. Randall with a drive. Oh, and there’s the whistle on the shot. So, two free throws for him coming up. And Randall starts going downhill. He’s tough to stop on the drive. He’s been spending quite a bit of time at the foul line. This is trip number six. Take a break. Take a break. Two shots. The free throw dropped for Randall. [Applause] Hits both from the stripe. Warriors trail by 15. Offensively, it’s been a struggle for him. Yeah, they need to string together some shots to have any kind of chance. Here’s Butler. Oh, and he got fouled on his way up. He’ll head to the line to shoot two. Rudy Goar picks one up. Felt like he was getting more and more hungry as he got closer to the rim. Jimmy Butler just tenacious there. He’s got free throw attempts four and five here. No good on the free throw. And he’s good on the second. Not quite 2 and 1/2 minutes played here in the second half. Connelly with the ball and it’s heel picking him up. Connelly passes to Randall. The three ball rebounded by Green. Green’s got his fifth rebound in this one. The third quarter has not started well. Just one of four. He can’t get that one to fall. Not sure they realize it’s not halftime anymore. Four attempts and they’re still looking for their first bucket. Back to Daniels. That one’s good. And it’s Connley who picks up the assist. Connley’s got four assists in the game. And it’s Butler with the ball for Golden State. They trail by 16. And Steve Kerr calls timeout here. He’s going to talk it over with his guys. [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] outside Green. Yeah, we know he’s undersized for the position, but Draymond Green does the work of several men, including how he forces the D that time, a foul. He’s gone two for two at the line so far. First one falls for him. Both good from the line that time. Minnesota leading by 14 outside Edwards. They set a pick. Driving in. Oh, and makes it with the kiss. Edwards got 19 points. Oh, great power driving to the bucket. Edwards gets it to fall. A fearless finisher. Pass to post. This one for three and the Warriors miss again. The Timberwolves have gotten three of six shots to fall so far in the third. Connley passes to McDaniels and the three off target. The Warriors have gotten off to a rough start now 0 for five in the second. Now Butler, he’s guarded by Connley. The fadeaway. Butler shot is good. Butler’s got 10 points in the game. Now Butler can’t get into the paint. He’s got some offensive options. He has the touch from the mid-range. Now here’s Connley. Seven points in the game. [Applause] [Applause] But one player sometimes can drag down your offense and he seems to be an anchor here in this quarter. And Gobear with a block. Well, Rudy loves erasing shots. Every chance he gets, he’ll take a swipe at you. And that one’s good from Connley. And just Shakespeare in there. A smart read. Saw the defense was collapsing inside, so he wisely pulled up from the outside and drilled it outside. Green to the middle. Here’s Hee. And that one’s good. And Green with the assist. Green’s got four assists now tonight. Buddy seems to be locked in right now. Results speaking for themselves. Connelly passes to Edwards. Goar with a screen on Butler. Left side. Edwards. Shot clock at five. Goar finds Edwards over Green. The kick out to Edwards. Connelly with the ball. 10 points for him to the paint. Ooh, good finish at the rack off the slick feed. Six points for him. And they’re just taking what the defense gives them. And right now that’s the interior. Outside Pajki back to Butler. pass to Heel. Three-pointer and that basket makes him six for 11 shooting a good percentage. And the spacing right there for Buddy Heield allows him to get that shot off. You just can’t give him that kind of space or he’s going to hurt you. Randall outside to the inside. Here’s Gobear. Lays it up and banks it in. Go’s got eight points. They’re finding ways to get the ball into the paint. Five consecutive buckets. Outside Green outside. Pajki pass to Heel. Here’s Post beyond the arc. McDaniels with the rebound. McDaniels got five rebounds tonight. And here’s Randall. Lets it go from deep. Knocks down the long J. Randle’s got eight here in this quarter. Trying more and more to utilize the three-pointer. It’s a good idea. That’s his second three of the game. One in each half. Outside. Butler takes the three. Minnesota with a rebound. Randle’s got nine rebounds in the game. Boy, he’s getting it done. Here’s Edwards. Cook it and it’s Randall with the assist. Edwards has got 21 points in the game and the offensive firepower Edwards is capable of is special. I mean we are seeing it on full display right now. Pass to heel looking to win the run. Minnesota with a rebound now. McDaniels, give him eight points now. He took the contact and had an opportunity to drain it. And let’s get your take, guys, on the scoring breakdown for the Timberwolves. Well, the coaching staff has to love what they’re seeing on offense. There’s so many assists because how this team is moving the ball. And I feel like another part of tonight’s game has been the hustle. the hustle points, getting up and down, getting second chances, getting transition opportunities. They’ve been fantastic in that area. And he can’t get the first one. And the Warriors going with a whole new group out there. [Music] [Applause] Good on the second one. [Applause] Here’s Spencer. Pass to Jackson Davis. [Applause] Now Kaminga. Five on the clock and he’s going for the oop here. Jackson Davis misses. That could have been an easy pass and finish. Not really sure what went wrong. Yeah, you’d like to keep things a little more simple and that was a play that didn’t quite develop the way they wanted it. Edwards for three. That one’s good. And it’s Connley who picks up the assist. Edwards has got 24 points. Is it possible his sweet touch is getting sweeter, guys? Here’s Spencer. He’s guarded by Connley to end the drought. And Kaminga throws it down. Yeah, Kaminga is a guy who does not back down. In fact, he tries to go through you. Randall [Applause] outside. McDaniels from behind the ark. Jackson Davis grabs a miss. This Warrior squad is struggling down low. Here’s Payton [Applause] to the wing right side. Tries again. Jackson Davis with a bucket. Jackson Davis has got his second basket of the game. A great job by Payton just seeing the floor and then making the play for someone else. And Chris Fence has called timeout. He’ll take the opportunity to regroup. You could really see his squad was losing steam. Smart time out to give them a breather. [Applause] Pajimski’s checked in for Payton. [Applause] Randall. The pass to Devincenzo right here. Pass to Alexander [Applause] Walker. Randle inside. He’s watched by Kaminga. They get it back and he got the whistle on the way up. So, he’ll be headed to the line for a pair. And over the years, Randall has stepped up his role. An assertive scoreer and a natural leader. Good success at the line, shooting nine of 10. Shooting two. [Applause] And he knocks down the first one. [Applause] So he gets them both and the Warriors shooting only 39% so far in the game. Pass to Pimsky over Edwards. Ooh, lands soft on the front of the rim and drops in. Pajimski’s got seven points in the game. Easy look when the defender isn’t fighting over the screen. Yeah, coach over there just asking for one simple thing and that’s some effort got burned on that one. And play stops. A whistle there on what looks like an illegal screen. Just their second turnover of the game. Impressive how mistakefree they’ve been. Warriors trail by 21. [Applause] And looks like an illegal pick was set. That gets the ref’s attention. You’re not going to fool the officials too often on an illegal screen. Yeah, everybody saw that one. That was pretty blatant there. [Applause] The Timberwolves lead by 21. Outside Alexander Walker once again off the mark by Minnesota. And he’s going for the lob and it’s out of bounds. They say it was last touch by Randall. Almost had the steal. You have to love the pressure defense. Yeah. Pestering right now and that’s going to pay some dividends at some point. There’s going to be a turnover. A minute and a half left to play in the third quarter. And here’s Kaminga for three. Like watching Randall get down, use that frame, and use those feet to move around defensively. Edwards. A pass to Randall. The floater. And count that. Two points and a chance for one more at the line. He’s played a huge role in this game to this point, but it looks like he just wants more. He wants to make sure that this lead holds up. What’s up? [Applause] Well, the Warriors shooting just about 33% since this second half started. Jackson Davis’s screen inside. Stolen by Reed. Only one man back on D. Here’s Alexander Walker. That three is off the mark. And the Warriors with possession here. Pass to Spencer. And here’s Jackson Davis to the inside. And the dunk to finish it off. A beauty. Powerful. He saw an opening and turned it into a highlight reel, man. Just sent it down with some force. And typically he is not the major force in that regard, but good enough to punish a soft defense on that play. Edwards can’t hit. Well, the Warriors shooting 41% in this game. Here’s Spencer. Dven Chenzo covering. It’s Pajki on the wing. He has seven. Pass to Jackson Davis and he drops it in from the low post. Jackson Davis has got four points now in the quarter. Well, that’s how you draw it up right there. A screen to shed the defense, a quick move to the bucket, and you get the layin. And so it’s the Minnesota Timberwolves ending the quarter with a 20point edge. The hustle they’ve shown on defense has been tremendous. We’ll be back in a moment. And a moment now as we take a look at our State Farm assist of the game. Now, I know he’s a big man, but he’s got some point guard in him if he’s making passes like this. The passing for the team becoming contagious this time involving the big. Well, there may not be a lot of drama down the stretch as we head into the fourth quarter, but stranger things have happened. Setting the floor for the Timberwolves. We’ve got Nas Reed, Dante Devincenzo out there with Anthony Edwards. Then it’s Julius Randall and it’s Alexander Walker in at the three. Here’s Green and it’s hammered home by Green. If he can get his steps together, Jayon Green will throw it down. Randle outside and he banks in the layup. Randle’s got 34 and just executing at a high level. I mean, taking what the defense allows and putting in the work. Basketball IQ is something that gets talked about, but its importance to a team showing up here, running plays that turn into scores. He passes to Green. He a screen on Reed. Green for three. Randle pulls down the board. Randle’s got 11 rebounds in the game. Pass to Devincenzo. Back to Randall. Puts up a three. Rebounded by Heield. Not sure how he finds himself in so much space there. He’s kicking himself for whiffing a bit on that one. And here’s Kaminga for three. Gets the three ball to go. I think this is a progression step here for Kaminga when he starts to hit threes consistently. Watch out. And we’ve made our way through just over a minute and a half of this fourth quarter. Reed finds Randall. Banked it in off the glass. Randle’s got 17 points here in the second half. Well, for a bigger guy, Randall really has some tricky handle and he’ll throw off the defense. Pass to Heel. The three gets rebounded by Minnesota. Given his range, you’d expect him to capitalize on that opening. Here’s Alexander Walker. Book it. And it’s Randall with the assist. Randle’s got seven assists in the game. Well, Randall when he has the ball in his hands, aware that there might be an open teammate. That time he found him. Now here’s Pachki guarded by Edwards. The rebounding numbers make it obvious why they’re in front. Well, every time the shot goes up, guys are doing a nice job of finding bodies and making sure there’s room to collect the rebound. And here’s Kuminga. He’ll bring it up for the Warriors. Green. The pass to Heel outside for [Applause] Butler. Now here’s Alexander Walker. Pass to Randall. Launches it. Rebounded by Heel. not himself from range right now, but the only way out of this funk is to keep trying. And here’s Pajki guarded by Edwards. And here is Green Healed for three. He’s building off that strong first half he had. I’m not sure the defense will be able to figure him out in the second. And Chris Finch has called timeout. He wants their game plan to be crystal clear at this point. The Timberwolves making a switch here. Conley’s checked in. [Applause] The Timberwolves lead by 19. Go. Pass to Alexander Walker. Now here’s Reed. Right through the D for the layup. And the Timberwolves lead by 21. Their interior D continues to look shaky. Not a good matchup for them right now. Heel passes to [Applause] Butler. Here’s Heel. Four on the clock. Pass to Pajimsky. Over Edwards. The shot by Pajimky. No good. for Minnesota. They’ve gone four of seven from the field in the fourth quarter. And here’s Reed and the rebound goes to the Warriors. Post has got six rebounds here tonight. Heel against Connley. And there’s a pick. And the Warriors with another three. Man, they’re having a hard time defending the triple. That’s three in a row. The Timberwolves lead by 18, man. Outside Connley. Pass to Edwards. Shoots from 14 and off the glass. That one’s good. Edwards got 26 points. Their success from mid-range has really set them apart today. Butler surveying the floor. Connley against heel. Here’s Post. Three-pointer. Edwards pulls it in. The perimeter game has failed him thus far. Hit one from range in the first half, but nothing since. Drains the triple. Oh boy, look at the quickness to create space. Edwards puts defenders right on their heels. Outside Pajki pass to post. Fires the three. Here’s Butler. He shoots over Devincenzo. Butler can’t get it to go. Minnesota has gone two of four from the perimeter here in the fourth quarter. Connley passes to Edwards. Yes, great play by Connley to set it up. Edwards has got seven points for the quarter. balanced play has given them the lead and also quieted this crowd all night long in control of the pace and you don’t want to let go of that rope right now. Pass to post. Now here’s heel to halt the run. Knocks down the triple. He’s got 25. His points are really adding up from the three-point line. He had nine from distance in the first half and he’s only getting better. and Edwards. Here we go. Soft touch off the glass. I mean, the stroke looks good. He’s moving well out there. What a sensational start to this game. Perfect from the field. Pass to Butler. [Applause] Heel against Connley. But outside the ark and it’s healed missing for Minnesota. They’ve gone eight of 12 so far here in the fourth. Out to the right wing. Connley up top. And here’s [Applause] Edwards. And the shot goes in. Edwards has got 18 points in just the second half. Defensively, they’ve got to get more bodies in the paint. That’s three straight field goals from below the free throw line. Deninszo against Butler outside heel pass to post. The rebound by the Timberwolves. A rough game for him. Scoring the ball. Just can’t seem to get it going. Devincenzo on the wing. Butler covering. Here’s Edwards. Drives to the hoop. No luck on that one. Excellent D there from Kuminga and it’s Butler with the ball for Golden State. Pass to Heel. Reed brings the double. And here’s Kamega for three. The rebound by the Timberwolves. Reed’s got seven rebounds in the game. [Applause] Right side Edwards free throw line jumper. Jimmy Butler with a rebound. The Warriors shooting 33%. This hasn’t been their quarter. Healed on the wing. Pass to Kaminga. Here’s Post. It’s Pajki on the wing. shoots over Denzo off the mark and the drought continues. And not a way to get out of a funk. He needs to be looking for good, solid, more efficient shots, not the wild one he took there. Now here’s Edwards Reed. A screen on Butler 14 ft away and good. Got the friendly bounce off the right side of the rim. Edwards got 37. outside. Butler back to Pajki down low [Applause] and that’ll be Golden State’s ball as it goes out of bounds. Warriors able to keep possession and the Warriors will go with a different look here. Key, he’s checked in for Kaminga. Knox comes in for Butler. Moody’s checked in for Heielded and Spencer subbed in for Pajimky. The Timberwolves also with a sub. Julius Randles checked in for Connley. Just five on the clock. Here’s the three. Nice D from Reed. Minnesota has gone two of four from the perimeter here in the fourth quarter. And they call an illegal screen here. The screener was leaning a bit right there. His feet may not have been planted. Pretty obvious call by the officials. Got to hold firm or you’re going to get a call. Well, the Warriors shooting around 39%. They’d like to get that higher outside Moody. Here’s the pick. Pass to Knox to in the cold spell. Nails it from beyond the arc. Knocks knock. Who’s there? Kevin for three. Timberwolves shooting it at 52%. [Applause] Devenzo finds Randall. And here’s Alexander Walker. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Take a break. Take a break. Two shots. [Music] First free throw is good. [Applause] [Applause] Second free throw no good. Stolen by Reed. Back to Randall. Basket counts. Randle’s got 38 points. And Julius Randall is just such a bull out there with that great body control and strength. Pass to [Applause] Key right side. Moody from the ark. Another three for Golden State. And that’ll wrap up game three. Now a look ahead towards an important game four for the Timberwolves. And everything seemed to go their way today. They were firing on all cylinders. Grant. Yeah, BA. This was the kind of performance you relish as a player. Just a very impressive win. And in what could be a series defining victory, they go up two games to one. And both teams knew tonight would be important. The winner captures momentum going into game four. It’s been an interesting matchup. And what a huge performance it was for Julius Randall. So impressed with this performance today. He was confident. He was composed. And the defense just didn’t know how to adjust. Pass to Spencer. Back to Moody. Clock at six. Here’s Knox. Here’s Key Reed defending misses the three. Shot and game clock separated by five. Denzo. The pass to [Applause] Edwards. Pass to Reed. Minnesota again missing. Here’s Spencer. So, we see the Timberwolves taking the W here and this is a critical win for them. They grab the lead in the series after splitting the first two games. Yeah, game three feels like a game seven if the series is tied. It has a huge impact. They’re in the driver’s seat now as long as they don’t lose their focus. Well, now we have some time to check in with Ally Leforce. Ally, Rudy, you guys came to play tonight. Can you talk about the motivation right from the opening tip? We just wanted to have a good defensive game, you know, come out ready and uh make sure we communicate and run back cuz these guys are very talented and uh we did a great job. The communication paid off. Thanks so much. All right, Ally, good stuff there. Thanks for that. Time for us to say goodbye. We hope you enjoyed our second round coverage of the NBA Western Conference playoffs. For Brent Barry, Grant Hill, and Ally Leforce, this is Brian Anderson.
