On November 11, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and a focus battle in the West began, and the Golden State Warriors, who had been in excellent form since the beginning of the game, sat at the Home Chase Center against the youth Minnesota Timberwolves.
The opening whistle sounded, the two teams quickly entered the rhythm of the game, Wiggins faced the old club without false hair, consecutive points, the Timberwolves side of the Yuanlang Edwards is not far behind, single-handedly contributed 16 points to help the team bite the score, the first quarter ended, the Warriors led 31:28. In the second quarter, the Timberwolves suddenly lost power on the offensive end, and the Warriors played better and better, and the point difference was extended to 15 points at the end of the first half.
As the Timberwolves blew the counter-attack horn, Russell hit four three-pointers in a single quarter, forcing the point difference to four points. Entering the fourth quarter, the scene gradually became white-hot, Edwards still felt hot, but could not stand the Warriors side full bloom, as Curry Wiggins joined forces to play a wave of 7:0 attack, the suspense of the game ended. In the end, the Warriors won 123:110, winning six consecutive games while giving the Timberwolves a tragic six-game losing streak.
The player of the game belonged to Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins, who played 31 minutes, shooting 14-of-19, 3-of-6 from three-point range, 4-of-4 from the free throw line, and 35 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Wiggins made all 9 shots in the first half to help the Warriors get off to a good start, and when the team was passive in the fourth quarter, it was Wiggins who stepped forward and scored 11 points to seal the victory. It can be said that the reason why the Warriors can defend the home honor today is that Wiggins deserves the first credit. It is worth mentioning that Wiggins also contributed two very brutal five-ball-level dunks in this game.
The first ball appeared at the end of the second quarter with 1 minute and 30 seconds left, Wiggins received the ball on the bottom line, broke through to the paint area, and faced with the defense of his once good brother Towns, Wiggins was not afraid at all, and took off to complete the brutal one-handed partition. The ball also excited the players sitting on the Warriors bench.
The second ball came at 2 minutes and 10 seconds before the end of the game, Poole missed a three-point shot, Wiggins was quick to shoot, quickly inserted from the back row, jumped high to complete the one-handed dunk, and poor Towns was once again reduced to a background emperor under him. With Wiggins' "inhumane" goal, the Timberwolves' counterattack was completely extinguished.
After the game, Wiggins was interviewed by reporters, and when talking about his views on the game, Wiggins said: "It is not my credit alone, everyone on our team has done their part and played their roles, and winning is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Obviously, today's Wiggins not only changed the way of playing in the past, angrily dropped the thermos cup to contribute to the perfect performance, but also did not greed at all, showing the team's supreme high emotional intelligence speech, such a wolfberry brother, you are difficult not to love ah!
In addition to Wiggins, warrior star Stephen Curry's performance is also remarkable, Curry played 34 minutes, shooting 8 of 16 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, 25 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, +11 plus or minus tied for second in the game, and after this game, he also ushered in 4 milestones. 1.

It is worth mentioning that there was also a small episode in this game, that is, forward Drummond Green injured his thigh and withdrew from the game early when he injured a basket in the third quarter. When he left the field, he could clearly see Green limping, his expression was very painful, and his injury had become a topic of concern to countless fans. After the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr revealed Green's situation, Kerr said that Green suffered a more serious leg contusion, but fortunately did not hurt the knee, after timely ice treatment, he looks much better, at present he will be included in the daily watch list, the next game is doubtful. This is undoubtedly a good news of misfortune, and I hope that the other warriors can stay healthy and continue to provide a wonderful basketball feast for everyone.
