San Francisco – Minnesota trailed 82-77 with fewer than eight minutes to play in Game 3 on Saturday. The Timberwolves were a little scrambled for much of the evening. They’d committed 21 turnovers to keep the nose of the Warriors – playing without their best player in Steph Curry – out in front for much of the contest.

Powered by a Julius Randle triple-double and a second-half explosion from star forward Anthony Edwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 102-97 to take a 2-1 series lead in the conference semifinals on Friday night at Chase Center.

Julius Randle has been an impressive star player for the Minnesota Timberwolves and his coach, Chris Finch, shows appreciation for his impact.
