Desperately needing a victory to stay off the brink of elimination, the Minnesota Timberwolves blitzed the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals and led 72-41 at halftime. It's safe to say the Target Center crowd thoroughly enjoyed themselves as a big lead grew even larger and ballooned to a 31-point cushion.
There wasn't much joy for Timberwolves fans to be had in the first two games of the series but given some confidence, they felt emboldened to welcome Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to town with a derisive chant when the Thunder star stepped to the free throw line.
