In Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Warriors, just about everything was lined up for a Timberwolves loss. Jimmy Butler of Golden State had a big game, with 33 points, and Jonathan Kuminga had the surprise outing he needed, scoring 30.

Julius Randle led the Timberwolves — particularly stepping up when Edwards was out — and finished with 24 points and 11 assists. Nickeil Alexander-Walker broke out of his shooting slump and scored 20 off the bench, while Naz Reid added 11.
