Julius Randle one of most underrated players in league, but have to pull in reins from time to time and put up with a few silly plays – 11:17 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Wolves so much more of a threat with Randle. Plays aggressive, doesn’t hide in a corner. Said it then, saying it again – disastrous trade for the Knicks. Traded a dawg (actually 2) for a Pussy KAT! #tripledouble – 11:16 PM

Timberwolves with a triple-double in the playoffs:
Kevin Garnett (3 times)
Julius Randle (tonight) – 11:15 PM

Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
Absolutely love this close by the Timberwolves, whether Steph is playing or not. Hugely impressive turnaround from Edwards and Randle continues to blow me away – 11:15 PM

Julius Randle has 11 assists again tonight, matching his Game 2 total. He had two great finds late here in the 4th Q, spotting Jaden McDaniels for a 3 with a swing pass and Rudy Gobert for an and-one dunk off a dump off pass. – 11:12 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Key point of the game was the back-half of the 3rd and the first couple of minutes of the 4th when Edwards and Randle kept playing downhill even though the tough finishes around the rim weren’t going down. Kept the offense in a good spot and found it just in time. – 11:11 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Beautiful pass from Randle to McDaniels–after Ant totally missed him wide open under the basket earlier in the possession. – 11:09 PM

Dave McMenamin @mcten
Draymond Green is called for an offensive foul on a Wolves review when Julius Randle was originally called for a defensive foul on Jonathan Kuminga. It was his fifth foul. On the Wolves’ ensuing possession, Jaden McDaniels drove and was fouled by Green, fouling out with his sixth – 11:05 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
This physical battle between Julius Randle and Draymond is fun to watch. Julius going absolutely as strong as he can every time, and he’s winning more often than a lot of guys do. – 10:52 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Jimmy Butler had more first quarter buckets in Game 3 (5/7 FGs) than Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle combined (4/14 FGs)
But it’s only tied because Golden State is getting spanked on the glass – 9:12 PM

LeBron James: Now, you know, you have your big guys that make big plays at the end of games, throughout the game, or whatever the case may be, but ultimately, you know, teams win championships. And I understand that. And it’s never just about me and Luka. It was never just about, you know, Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle. You know, it was always Minnesota versus the Lakers. And I understand that. And I — and I am at a point in my career now where I, you know, I don’t lose sleep over that, like, [ __ ] how did — how did me and Luka lose? Like, well, yeah, well, there’s — there’s eight other guys on the floor, you know, so of course, you know. -via YouTube / May 10, 2025
