This is live bet Saturday on V-SIN, the Sports Betting Network.

Back here on Live Bet Saturday, I'm Scott Satterberg on V-Sin, the Sports Betting Network,

as the third quarter is underway between the Lakers and the Thunder.

We did at the half-bet, Thunder live minus five and a half, and the Thunder

have taken a 65-63 lead over the Lakers. Your live line is now Thunder minus seven and a

half with your total at 224 and a half, 65-63 is your score. Thunder over the Lakers. Lakers

in that first half were just red hot from three point range.

11 of 20 from three point range. Roy Hachimura was a perfect 4-04. And the back for me was that that was just not going to continue here in the second half. Now could it? Sure. But I expect the

thunder to go on a little bit of a run here in this third quarter and we'll see if that plays itself out. Let's head on out to the progressive guest line. We'll continue the basketball conversation. Chris Heim covering the Timberwolves of the Minnesota Star Tribune joins us now on live bet Saturday. Chris, thanks so much for giving us a couple minutes before we get into the T-wolves here. Your thoughts on what you saw in the first half, Lakers and Thunder? And do you think the Lakers will continue to shoot hot, or will the Thunder eventually pull away like we know them to do? You know, I think probably the Thunder pull away in this one. You know, I think it's generally a good sign if you're Oklahoma City when the Lakers are shooting that well and a game is still as close as it is, I think that that's advantage, Thunder in my eyes. Yeah, I think so. 67-65

now, Thunder leading the Lakers as they look to take a commanding three games to none lead.

Coming up tomorrow, it is game number four between the Tim Wolves and the Spurs. How would you sum up the first three games of this series so far, Chris?

From a Timberwolves perspective, how do you grade their performance,

and how do you sum up the first three games?

That's a good question.

I guess an overall grade for the Timberwolves would be probably about a B.

I would give Game 1 and A. I would give

game two and an F. And I would give game three, maybe a B, B plus. I don't know. It's tricky.

I think they played well overall in game three. They missed shots. They were generating

better shots when they were in game two. And then the defense kind of broke down in the second

half in spots that is little atypical for them, especially in the playoffs. So, you know,

and I think that's what playoff basketball is all about.

You have to play almost a perfect game.
