On May 11, the NBA playoff Western Conference semi-finals rekindled. The Timberwolves defeated the defending Warriors 102-97 away, rewriting the total score to 2-1. The biggest contributor to this game was Randle, who scored a triple-double. The 26-year-old forward helped the team win with his all-round performance.

Randle played for 40 minutes in this game, making 10 goals with 23 shots. Although he struggled slightly by only 1 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line, he still contributed 24 points + 10 rebounds + 12 assists with a luxurious triple-double data, and also scored 3 steals. When he was on the court, the team beat the opponent by 14 points, ranking first in the game.

The young forward created a double history: this is not only Randle's first triple-double in his career, but also a triple-double performance in the Timberwolves' history after 19 years - the last time it can be traced back to the legendary era of "Wolf King" Garnett in 2004. What's even more amazing is that Randle has made double-digit assists in two consecutive games. After 11 assists in G2 in a single game, he once again turned into the core of the organization in this game to revitalize the entire team.

According to the well-known data website StatMuse, since the 2020 playoffs, only three players have scored at least 24 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals in a single game. Except for Randall tonight, the other two are Curry and Jokic, the Nuggets star in the opponents in this game. This gold-rich record confirms Randall's super-satisfaction in key battles.

After the game, Timberwolves coach Finch praised his disciples: "Randall is like a magnet tonight, firmly sucking the whole team together. His rebounding, passing vision and defensive oppression perfectly interpret the all-around warrior of modern basketball. "The Timberwolves, who currently hold home advantage, will usher in the fourth game of the series on May 13. Whether this young army can continue its hot state is worth all fans' expectations.
