I think OKC will do a little bit better at rotating out, be a little bit crisper. We've seen this time and time again. They are the best defensive team in the NBA. They will respond defensively. I expect that. How does that match for the Timberwolves? What they need? They need a huge game from Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards.

When things get tight, it's on your stars to make those shots, to make the reads, to make the passes out of certain situations where it might be tighter. The Passing window might be a little bit tighter than it was in game three. It's on them. That's basically they need to have a really, really good game.
