The Thunder have a 2-1 lead in the series, so they are attempting to put the Timberwolves on the verge of elimination, heading back to Oklahoma City for Game 5 on Wednesday night.

Via Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman: "Chet Holmgren has also been incredible. 3/3 in the fourth with two 3s, the vertical leap at Randle, a putback jam. Still the only true center to touch the floor this quarter.

The Big Three has 76 points between them."

Via The NBA (on April 22): "Tonight Chet Holmgren joined Dwight Howard (2x), Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon and Amar'e Stoudemire as the only players to total 20+ PTS, 10+ REB and 5+ BLK in a playoff game before turning 23 years old."
