Jalen Williams with confident quick-trigger threes,

He's 5-for-6 overall for a game-high 13 points.

AC has made his impact in less than two minutes with a couple great stops for OKC, Kenrich Williams gets in for Chet as OKC goes small.

This game is a rock fight. Both teams bringing the physicality.

— THE UNCONTESTED PODCAST (@The_Uncontested) May 27, 2025

Timberwolves missed a total of 7 shots in the first quarter.

Shannon’s downhill game is so tough

— Brett Usher (@UsherNBA) May 27, 2025

Kenrich Williams checking in midway through the 1st. Seems Daigneault wants guys who’ll match the intensity of this game rn.

— Joel Lorenzi (@JoelXLorenzi) May 27, 2025

Continuation for Edwards there is wiiiiiild.

Thunder winning all of the effort plays so far tonight

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander quiets the crowd with another jumper. He has 17 PTS on 6/10 attempts, 2/4 from three

this broadcast is extremely online.

The Thunder has led by 9 points seven different times. The Wolves have responded every time to keep the margin within single digits.

Every time OKC makes a run, Minnesota hits a HUGE 3.

There is a NOTICEABLE positive shift in intensity and aggression... this is not even close to the same team that was on the floor Saturday night

— Derek Cody (@derekcody) May 27, 2025

The Minnesota crowd booing Shai is what jealousy sounds like. #MVP

Caruso over iHart

Free points it is https://t.co/74rArX8RpZ

Oh my, that recovery from Jaden McDaniels was stupid

— Matt Ravis (@mattravis) May 27, 2025

If they're going to keep give the Wolves those moving down-screens to free up the corner shooter, you gotta adjust. You can't blitz and reach the corner if your players keep getting wiped out on the way there.

— W² (@thewarnerwest) May 27, 2025

Idea for OKC, let Donte DiVincenzo do anything on the court other than shoot wide-open corner 3s.

DVD hits two in a row and now the game is tied at 79. The end of this 3Q will be crucial in deciding the outcome of this game.

— Calif Poncy (@PoncyCalif) May 27, 2025

Isaiah Joe has been a -9 in his minutes.

His spacing is only valuable if he can get the shots up. The Wolves have done a great job not letting him get loose around screens and getting strong closeout outs on him.

I’d lean towards Aaron Wiggins’ extra self creation here.

— Michael Martin (@MichaelOnSports) May 27, 2025

They have reliable shooters we don’t it’s gonna be off pure will to win this game

— (@homahoops) May 27, 2025

Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Donte DiVincenzo have been huge for Minnesota off the bench.

27 PTS
9-12 FG
7-9 3PT

Thunder D have held Ant and Randle to 11 combined points. But it’s a tie game due to the Wolves role players.

— Brandon Rahbar (@BrandonRahbar) May 27, 2025

Most pivotal stretch of basketball of the season coming up for the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves,

Difference in a 3-1 lead or 2-2 tie happening in the next 12 minutes. OKC is up five.

— Derek Parker (@DParkOK) May 27, 2025

Incredible shot by Shai to end the 3rd

OKC goes up 5 heading into the 4th, 90-85

Huge 4th coming up

— Andrew Schlecht (@AndrewKSchlecht) May 27, 2025

By the way after all that chatter, take a wild guess how many free throws OKC got in the third quarter?

Zero.

— Royce Young (@royceyoung) May 27, 2025

(I don’t get the SGA free throw merchant narrative and think there are a lot of more annoying foul grifters in the NBA)

— Noa Dalzell (@NoaDalzell) May 27, 2025

This would be an absurd game for the Wolves to win in terms of losing the possession battle in every single way lol

— Esfandiar Baraheni (@JustEsBaraheni) May 27, 2025

NAW has been great tonight

— The Daniel Bell© (@BasketballGuruD) May 27, 2025

Jalen Williams has looked exactly like a star tonight

— Esfandiar Baraheni (@JustEsBaraheni) May 27, 2025

Chet Holmgren's been nails tonight, btw

— Derek Parker (@DParkOK) May 27, 2025

Thunder win a pivotal challenge and Chet avoids the foul. No free throws for Randle.

— Matt Ravis (@mattravis) May 27, 2025

OKc’s made EVERY run killer shot tonight

— Hardwood Paroxysm (@HPbasketball) May 27, 2025

DiVincenzo killing the Thunder from the corners

— Clemente Almanza (@CAlmanza1007) May 27, 2025

This shot-making is crazy right now

— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) May 27, 2025

Jaden McDaniels cuts it to 2!!@okcthunder 123@Timberwolves 121

Under a minute left on ESPN

— NBA (@NBA) May 27, 2025

Whatever result, this is awesome playoff basketball

— Matt Ravis (@mattravis) May 27, 2025

What an unbelievable game.

SGA, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren looked like a true Big Three tonight. Incredible performance for OKC.

Regardless of how this game/series ends, I hope history remembers the 2024-25 Minnesota Timberwolves as very formidable team.

One that was worthy of a deep playoff run.

— Mat Issa (@matissa15) May 27, 2025

UH OH

— Esfandiar Baraheni (@JustEsBaraheni) May 27, 2025

SGA splits free throws.

Thunder up 126-123.

Wolves ball.

8.4 seconds to go.
