Timberwolves challenge the Heat
Who would have thought that the Minnesota Timberwolves would lose to the Bottom One Magic in the East, ending a six-game winning streak after 16 years. But it doesn't matter, they still rank seventh in the West, and no one will deny their identity as the dark horse of the West. The last time the Timberwolves made the playoffs was when Butler was on the team. As a tough guy in the league, Butler was very dissatisfied with Downs's attitude in the game, and the two also got into a fight. Fortunately, Downs is now grown up.
For this game, the Timberwolves will travel to Miami to challenge the Heat, the number one in the East. Butler is the star of this team, although this game, Butler will not play, but Towns must still hope to prove in front of Butler's team, without Butler, Towns can also win the game, but also play the playoffs.
Towns won the game with ease
At the beginning of the first quarter, Towns showed excellent offensive form, although only 3 shots, but all hits, and also won 4 free throws, 11 points and 2 rebounds, but also received 3 fouls. Russell had eight points, three rebounds and three assists, the Timberwolves had 30 points in the first quarter, and the Heat only scored 25 points, with Adebayor scoring 11 points, six rebounds and one steal. After returning from the second quarter, Hiro on the Heat bench completely exploded, shooting 4 of 6, 8 of 8 from the free throw line, and 18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal in the single quarter.
Led by Hiro, the Heat played a perfect offense, Strus shot 4 of 6 from three-point range, the team exploded 42 points in a single quarter, and the Timberwolves only scored 25 points. So, at the end of the half, the Heat surpassed the Timberwolves by 12 points 67-55. In the second half, The Easy Side fought again, Towns only had 1 shot, not a point, but the Timberwolves played a perfect offensive climax, the whole team blossomed more, a single quarter bombed 34 points, and the Heat only scored 19 points, so after the third quarter, the Timberwolves overtook the Heat by 3 points.
In the final quarter of the game, the Heat still did not find their touch, Hiro and Strus teamed up to get 13 points, but the whole team only scored 18 points, while the Timberwolves, still multi-point blossoming, easily got 24 points, and finally defeated the Miami Heat 113-104, successfully refusing to make a losing streak.
8 people scored in double figures
Hiro's personal performance in this game is impeccable, 8 of 19 shots, 10 of 10 three-point shooting, 30 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, Strus also has 19 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, but even so, the Heat, the first in the East, still lost the game, why is this? The Heat's starters only had two players in double figures, Adebayor had 19 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, lowry had 14 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and no other player on the team scored in double figures, while the Timberwolves had 8 in double figures.
This is not a wolf, but a pack of wolf cubs. Timberwolves played the momentum of the whole people, the team's highest score is Nowell on the bench, but 16 points and 1 assist, Towns only had 9 shots, got 15 points and 10 rebounds, Russell is 14 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, Edwards 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, the personal performance of the three cores can be said to be unremarkable, but it can't stop the eight members of the team to score in doubles! Most importantly, there is no waste time in this game. I have to say that the timberwolves, the dark horse of the east, are really going to officially rise.
