Warriors vs. Timberwolves Game 3: How to Watch Online and Key Highlights from Minnesota’s Win

Timberwolves Edge Warriors in Thriller: Game 3 Highlights and Streaming Guide

The air inside Target Center felt electric after the Minnesota Timberwolves claimed a 102-97 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of their NBA Playoffs series. This matchup had tension, gutsy moments, and breakout performances—plus the absence of a certain superstar that’s changed both the momentum and the viewing habits of fans across the country.

Anthony Edwards was simply on fire, dropping a sensational 36 points—an eye-popping 28 of those in the second half alone. The Timberwolves’ offense found fuel in Julius Randle as well, who piled up a triple-double with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists. That made all the difference as Minnesota surged ahead in the series, now up 2-1 and brimming with confidence.

Golden State kept things tight, refusing to go quietly. Jimmy Butler III did everything he could, pouring in 33 points to go with 7 boards and 7 assists, but it wasn’t quite enough to drag the depleted Warriors over the line. For Warriors fans, the elephant in the room remains the absence of Stephen Curry. He’s still on the bench, nursing a nagging hamstring that's been the talk of the league and leaving the rest of the roster fighting an uphill playoff battle.

Where to Watch: Streaming Options for Game 4

You didn’t have to crowd around a cable box to catch Game 3. ABC had the broadcast for those with traditional TV, but cord-cutters tuned in through the fubo live stream, which is still offering a free trial—a golden ticket if you’re hoping to catch the next clash without paying upfront.

If you’re planning to watch Game 4, mark your calendar for May 12 at 10:00 p.m. ET. ESPN is airing the game this time, and their streaming service will have all the action live.

Before tipoff, oddsmakers liked Minnesota by 5.5 points with a total expected at 200.5, and those numbers showed just how tight the battle was expected to be. With the Timberwolves now riding high and the Warriors facing questions about depth and durability, Game 4 is shaping up to be must-see basketball for any NBA fan. Don’t be surprised if lineups look different, tactics get tweaked, and tempers flare—it’s playoff basketball, after all.
