He was red hot from downtown, knocking down 5/6 from three.

Anthony Edwards went to the locker room briefly after rolling his ankle, which was when Randle started to catch fire at the perfect time.

The Timberwolves/Thunder series looks like it should be a competitive series that goes close to the distance, and Randle will need to continue to play a big role in Minnesota's scoring to get a series victory.
