The Minnesota Timberwolves bounced back from consecutive defeats against the Oklahoma City Thunder, winning Game 3 at home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was almost impossible to return to this Thunder team 3-0, so the Timberwolves simply had to win Saturday night.<\/p>\n

You can also argue that Game 4 is a must-see. Otherwise, the series returns to Oklahoma City, with the home team holding a 3-1 advantage.<\/p>\n

Naz Reid recalls the start of Timberwolves to Western Conference Finals so far and how to prevent Anthony Edwards from happening when it gets difficult.<\/p>\n

Lead is one of the most important bench players in the entire NBA. He consistently lists around 15 points and six rebounds with efficient shooting.<\/p>\n

However, the 25-year-old has only scored 24 points in three total Western Conference Finals games.<\/p>\n

Reed was asked after the Timberwolves’ Game 3 victory and scored 10 points in 19 minutes.<\/p>\n

His answer proved that Edwards is blossoming as a team leader not only on the court but also behind the scenes. <\/p>\n

“No, I’ve never beat myself,” he said. \u201cI mean, you don’t really get down on yourself, especially when you’re around the ants.<\/p>\n

“The games come and go. A great night comes. The next day, you may have a bad night. You have to try and find a way to be consistent. <\/p>\n

“I think I’ve been pretty consistent throughout the playoffs. I think to myself, ‘They’re going to fall, the shots are going to fall.’ As long as I’m doing other things to stay on the court, that’s important. \u201d<\/p>\n

The Timberwolves should use their 42-point blowout victory as a stepping stone to head to Game 4. They need to maintain their chances to replicate the same intensity.<\/p>\n

The Thunder will have points to prove on Monday night, especially after falling in such an embarrassing way, as Shy Gilgauss Alexander scored just 14 points.<\/p>\n

“This is just the first step in the right direction,” Reid explained. \u201cThere is a lot more basketball to play and there is more hard work to achieve. <\/p>\n

“We won tonight. We have to convey this mentality and aggression from tonight until Monday.”<\/p>\n

It was when Reid performed another 20 points in these NBA playoffs and there was no more time to stream. <\/p>\n
