The 2025 NBA Playoffs flipped on their head Saturday night as the Minnesota Timberwolves stunned the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder 143-101, slicing the Western Conference finals deficit to 2-1 and handing OKC its worst loss of the season. H2: Timberwolves’ Defensive Gamble Pays Off Minnesota’s retooled game plan pressured Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at half court, limiting the newly crowned MVP to a season-low 14 points on just 4-for-13 shooting while holding OKC to its lowest first-quarter output all year. Anthony Edwards set the tone early with 16 first-quarter points en route to a 30-9-6 stat line, and the Wolves turned 20 Thunder turnovers into 31 points. H2: Why Game 4 Is a Must-Win for OKC History looms large: teams that fall behind 3-1 in a best-of-seven have advanced only 4.8 % of the time. Expect coach Mark Daigneault to unleash more two-big lineups featuring Chet Holmgren and Jaylin Williams to neutralize Karl-Anthony Towns on the glass and reopen driving lanes for SGA. H3: Key Game 4 Details • Date: Monday, May 26 • Tip-off: 8:30 p.m. ET • TV/Stream: TNT, Max (formerly HBO Max) • Venue: Target Center, Minneapolis H2: Eastern Conference Shockwave: Pacers Up 2-0 on Knicks While the West steals headlines, Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton have pushed the sixth-seeded Indiana Pacers to a surprising 2-0 edge over the New York Knicks, combining for 72 points in Game 2 per NBA.com’s playoff tracker. Jalen Brunson’s lingering right foot soreness raises questions about Tom Thibodeau’s short rotation heading into Sunday’s pivotal Game 3 at Madison Square Garden. H2: League-Wide Buzz • All-Defensive honors: Evan Mobley headlines a trio of first-time selections, joining Dyson Daniels and Luguentz Dort in locking down the NBA’s future on the perimeter. • Draft ripple: Projected lottery wing Cedric Coward will remain in the 2025 draft pool, intensifying speculation that the rebuilding Detroit Pistons may trade up to pair him with Cade Cunningham. • Off-season watch: The Golden State Warriors are rumored to explore sign-and-trade avenues for Klay Thompson, whose expiring contract and elite shooting profile fit cap-rich teams like Orlando and San Antonio. H2: What to Watch Next 1. Can Anthony Edwards replicate his two-way dominance and pull Minnesota even before the series shifts back to OKC? 2. Will the Knicks’ home-court advantage and potential Josh Hart insertion into the starting five slow Indiana’s transition attack? 3. How will the NBA’s new CBA apron rules reshape free-agent negotiations once the Finals conclude? Stay tuned for real-time playoff coverage, injury updates, and streaming guides as the road to the 2025 NBA Finals heats up.
