In Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, Julius Randle swept away the slump of the previous game and rebounded strongly at home, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 143-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, tying the series score to 2-1.

In this game, Randall was in hot form, scoring 24 points on 9 of 15 shots, with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and most importantly, zero turnovers. He scored key points in the final third quarter, helping the team establish a 34-point lead, and after a hit, he shouted, "We're home!", igniting the fans in the stadium.

This outburst was in stark contrast to his performance in the previous game. In the second game, Randle only scored 6 points, his shooting percentage was less than 20%, and he made 4 turnovers. Coach Chris Finch even benched him in the fourth quarter.

However, Randle did not fall into negative emotions. After the game, he said: "Of course I want to play, but everything comes first. It is important to let my teammates see that I stay focused no matter good or bad. At this time, I have to put myself aside."

Before the game, Finch patted Randle on the shoulder and said, "You just played an unsatisfactory game, keep moving forward." However, it was his teammate Anthony Edwards who really woke Randle up.

Edwards encouraged Randall, who performed poorly, immediately after the previous game: "Brother, let it go, you're fine."

Randle was relieved and said: "From that moment on, I laughed again on the plane and was able to play cards with everyone. He is very mature and cares about the team. This is the quality a leader needs."

Thanks to the encouragement from Finch and Edwards, Randle regained his aggressiveness, touch and confidence in Game 3. Hopefully, Randle's form can continue into Game 4, when the Minnesota Timberwolves will continue to face the Oklahoma City Thunder at home.
