Timberwolves, Spurs tied 1-1 as Game 3 shifts to Target Center — Spurs - Timberwolves

spurs - timberwolves is tied 1-1 as the series moves to Minneapolis for Game 3 at Target Center on Thursday night. The Timberwolves took Game 1, the Spurs answered in Game 2, and the next two games are in Minneapolis, so this one opens a stretch that could tilt control of the Western Conference semifinal.

Target Center Hosts Game 3

Game 3 is scheduled to tip off at 8:42 p.m. at Target Center. That puts the series in a familiar playoff setting for Minnesota, with the home floor now carrying added weight after the split in San Antonio.

The matchup is part of a best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal, which leaves little room for wasted possessions once the ball goes up. A 1-1 series means neither team has built separation, and the first game in Minneapolis arrives with that balance still intact.

Amazon Prime Carries The Broadcast

Fans can watch Game 3 on Amazon Prime. The broadcast crew includes Kevin Harlan, Candace Parker, Dwyane Wade and Allie Clifton, giving the game a national television call with a familiar postseason cast.

The radio call is on KFAN 100.3 FM, with Alan Horton and Jim Petersen handling the broadcast. That gives listeners a separate option if they are following the game away from a screen or trying to track the action while on the move.
