“Being down 2-0, it’s all about bringing energy, and we brought high energy.”<\/p>\n

Oklahoma’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was this week named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) and who scored a combined 69 points in the first two games,<\/a> managed only 14.<\/p>\n

“We got punched in the mouth,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We just didn’t have it. They had the sense of urgency knowing if they go down 3-0 it’s going to be pretty tough.<\/p>\n

“It’s about getting back up; it’s about responding. That’s what the next challenge is.”<\/p>\n

The Timberwolves have lost only one of their past 11 games at Target Center.<\/p>\n

The winners of the Western Conference finals will play the Indiana Pacers or the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

The Pacers lead 2-0<\/a> before game three in Indianapolis at 01:00 BST on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
