The Timberwolves maybe should have booked their tickets for Cancun already after a disastrous Game 5 first half vs. the Thunder.

A likely Timberwolves fan sitting courtside Monday night caught a ball that went out of bounds to give the Timberwolves a chance at a final shot with 0.3 seconds remaining in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.

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

As was true when the Wolves lost to Dallas in the Western Conference finals last season, their best skill failed them at a bad time.

NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a playoff career-high 40 points, and All-NBA forward Jalen Williams had a playoff career-high 34 points for the Thunder. Oklahoma City held Minnesota All-Star Anthony Edwards to an uneventful 16 points and Julius Randle to five points.

The Timberwolves are 12-14 straight up as betting underdogs this season. They are 3-3 in the postseason and they were 9-11 in the regular season. Wednesday's Game 5 will tip-off at 7:30 p.m. CT, and it will be televised on ABC.
