On January 17, Beijing time, the NBA's new season regular season continued. The Golden State Warriors, who currently have a 31-11 record, have also ushered in a new game, away to the Minnesota Timberwolves. As one of the most competitive teams in the West this season, the Warriors have finally come out of the haze of successive playoffs, and even have a good chance of impacting the final championship trophy. Yes, at this stage, they are second in the West, and they do have such strength.
However, in the process of facing the Timberwolves this time, they still encountered a lot of trouble. Yes, today's Wolves are different from the past, and they can also have a rising trend with the team's doubles and the eye show. So, what kind of sparks will burst out of the competition between the two sides? Let's move on. At the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves, who played as the home team, took the lead in the state, and under the situation that the players in the team played everywhere, they played a 30-22 single-quarter score to take an 8-point lead.
It is worth affirming that the Warriors' home star Curry does not play, and the scoring efficiency of Klay and Wiggins is slightly insufficient after all, and it is beyond reproach to fail to take the lead in the score. But after entering the second quarter, the Warriors were still able to fight back. Clay's form gradually returned, the second quarter three-point 3 shots 2, sent 6 points and 1 rebound, for the rookie player Cuminga can also stand up, handed over 7 points and 2 rebounds data, homeopathic helped the team play 28-26 single quarter score, chased back the first quarter of the 2 points behind.
After the first half of the game, the Timberwolves still maintained the initiative of the score lead with a score of 56-50. After Yibian fought again, the balance of victory gradually tilted to the side of the Timberwolves. Towns played 12 minutes of the third quarter, delivering 13 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks to help the team play a 35-31 score and widen the point difference between the two teams to 10 points. The difference between the two teams has come here, and the game is already clear, and the Timberwolves are bound to win the game.
That's right, Curry was sidelined due to injury, Klay and Wiggins and others could not send explosive statistics one after another, and Wolves' starters were even confident of clocking in for three quarters and sending rotating players to continue to consume the rest of the game time. But it was the role players who competed, and the Warriors were also broken, allowing the Timberwolves to play a 28-18 score and get a 10-point lead again. In the end, after the regular time of the fourth quarter, the Warriors finally encountered the Timberwolves' upset counterattack, with a score of 99-119, and suffered a 20-point defeat!
Looking back at the game, Wolves' double-element three-quarter clock-in-and-out, its data performance is relatively good. Towns gave a game-high score of 26 points and 11 rebounds in the 30 minutes of the game. Edwards also had a statistic contribution of 9 points and 2 assists, and Russell even played only 22 minutes to have 7 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists! And see the Warriors side that suffered a cold loss, Wiggins's human 18-point essence is no longer there, only 11 shots and 12 points of scoring contribution, Clay's feel is not good, 5 of 14 shots in a single game, but also sent 13 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
It is worth affirming that although winning or losing is a common thing, we have seen a different wolves in the game. Perhaps, they can also become a playoff team this season and prove the value of their existence.
