Seeing that there is no longer the pressure of ranking, the Bucks have chosen to take a break from the alphabet brother this round. The team's defensive gatekeeper Lopez returned to find form, starting the game and playing a perfect single quarter in the third quarter. But helplessly, the Timberwolves staged a wave of youth storm, led by russell, Towns and Edwards, 138-119 successfully defeated the Bucks to continue the winning streak.
Towns became the backbone of the Timberwolves' interior line, shooting 6-of-12 from the field with only 32 minutes playing, including 4-of-6 from three-point range and 9-of-11 free throws to slash 25 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. And Towns has also played 2+1 performances many times in the game, and is no longer a weak center in JB's eyes.
Russell played 31 minutes, shooting 6-of-12 and 4-of-8 from three-point range, shooting the same as Towns, but only scored 16 points because he didn't take free throws, but scored 3 rebounds and 9 assists. Russell is already a heavily relied guard on the Timberwolves' perimeter, though his nerve knife attributes are getting worse.
Another young core player of the Timberwolves, Edwards, played 33 minutes, shooting 9-of-16 from the field, 5-of-10 from three-point range, 25 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and also staged a four-seat flat basket dunk in the game.
With the victory of this game, the Timberwolves' record has reached 42 wins and 30 losses, ranking seventh in the West, only 0.5 wins away from the previous Nuggets, and the Nuggets are currently in sixth place for a few games. And the final card battle between the two teams on April 2 will determine who can avoid the play-offs, and now the pressure is on Jokic's side.
