The Oklahoma Thunder head into Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals with a 2-1 series lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.

In the most obvious prediction, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch gave the Thunder a backhanded compliment for their lockdown defense on Anthony Edwards in Game 4. He was quiet with 16 points on 5-of-13 shooting in a gutpunch loss that plummets their odds of an all-time upset.

NBA fans think Timberwolves coach Chris Finch found a foolproof way to critique the officiating in the series without getting fined.

Oklahoma City overcame a sizzling shooting effort from the Minnesota bench to secure a closeout game at home Wednesday night.

Just before the start of Game 3, Timberwolves assistant coach Micah Nori told rookie wing Terrence Shannon Jr. to “be ready” at the start of the second quarter. It was go time.
