H2: Why OKC Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 4 Matters
A blow-out loss in Game 3 left the Oklahoma City Thunder trailing 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals. Tonight’s Game 4 at Target Center gives OKC a chance to reclaim momentum before the series shifts back to Paycom Center.
H2: Key Storylines to Watch
• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s response – After scoring only 18 points on Saturday, the MVP finalist says he is “100 percent healthy and locked in”.
• Three-point drought – Oklahoma City hit just 7-of-32 attempts in Game 3, its worst postseason performance from deep.
• Chet Holmgren vs. Rudy Gobert – Holmgren’s ability to draw Gobert away from the rim could open driving lanes for Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace.
• Bench spark – Aaron Wiggins noted that “second-unit pace” is a focus after film review of the 143-101 defeat.
H2: Projected Starting Lineups
OKC Thunder: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander | Jalen Williams | Luguentz Dort | Chet Holmgren | Alex Caruso
Minnesota Timberwolves: Mike Conley | Anthony Edwards | Jaden McDaniels | Karl-Anthony Towns | Rudy Gobert
H2: Statistical Snapshot
• Series: Timberwolves lead 2-1
• Points per game: OKC 108.7, MIN 116.3
• Three-point percentage: OKC 32.1 %, MIN 38.5 %
• Turnovers: OKC 11.2, MIN 13.6
H2: What OKC Must Do to Tie the Series
1. Win the opening quarter – The Thunder were outscored 35-23 to start Game 3. Mark Daigneault emphasized “early physicality” during Monday’s practice.
2. Attack the paint – Despite Gobert’s presence, OKC owns a 46-44 paint advantage when it drives at least 50 times per game; that fell to 32 drives in the blowout.
3. Free-throw edge – OKC averages 24.5 attempts in wins, 17.0 in losses this postseason. Getting Dort and Williams downhill could flip that differential.
4. Limit second-chance points – Minnesota grabbed 15 offensive boards Saturday; controlling the glass is non-negotiable.

H2: Fan Pulse in Oklahoma City
Bars along Bricktown report near-capacity reservations, and the team will host a free watch party outside Paycom Center with a 50-foot LED screen. The arena’s “Paint the Peak White” shirts will be distributed for Game 5 regardless of tonight’s outcome.
H2: Outlook
If the Thunder rediscover their outside shot and match Minnesota’s physicality, a 2-2 series heading back to OKC is within reach. A loss, however, would put the youngest team in the NBA one game from elimination. Expect a desperate, high-energy performance from Gilgeous-Alexander and company as the franchise hunts its first Finals berth since 2012.
