Where to watch Timberwolves vs. Thunder Game 3: Channel, time, TV schedule, live stream for NBA Playoffs series

The Thunder stumbled in the second round, creating suspicion that they may not be a lock to reach the NBA Finals.

Two games into the Western Conference Finals and those doubts are nonexistent. Oklahoma City looks every bit ready to be an NBA champion and a potential dynasty for years to come.

For the second straight game, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves by at least 15 points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing the best basketball of his career after receiving the 2024-25 MVP award. He scored 38 points in Game 2 and 31 in Game 1.

It's more than just the MVP, however. Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso have been excellent in the first two games. This is a deep Thunder team that comes ready every night. When that's the case, it's nearly impossible to slow them down.

Anthony Edwards did his best in Game 2, scoring 32 points on 12-of-26 shooting. He did, however, shoot 1-for-9 from three. Meanwhile Julius Randle scored just six points in Game 2 after a strong Game 1.

Timberwolves vs. Thunder start time

• Date: Saturday, May 24
• Time: 8:30 p.m. ET

Game 3 of the NBA Playoffs series between Timberwolves and Thunder is set to tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

An NBA Finals berth would mean a ton for both franchises. The Thunder last reached that level in 2012 with a young trio of Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and James Harden. It's the only finals appearance since 1996 when the franchise was in Seattle.

Minnesota, however, has never made an NBA Finals since joining the NBA in the 1989-90 season. This is only the third Western Conference Finals it has reached.
