NBA Playoffs Western Conference Playoffs, Regular Season 7th Timberwolves vs. 8th Clippers single-game tiebreaker. In the final quarter, the Timberwolves completed a comeback and eventually beat the Clippers 109-104 to become the No. 7 seed in the West in the playoffs. In this battle, George scored 17 points in the third quarter of a single quarter but was finally eliminated, tragically out of the game, missing the playoffs!
In this campaign, the Timberwolves have home field advantage, and in the last minute, Edwards and Russell shot three consecutive points, and the home field was completely ignited! George worked hard, shooting key three-pointers to make it 101-104 to give the Clippers a lifespan. Edwards was very aggressive, starting to accelerate, killing the basket, fighting Zubac in the air, to foul, 2 free throws, the Timberwolves led by 5 points 106-101, with only the last 32 seconds left.
George made a quick shot to grab a three-pointer, but unfortunately failed to hit, Beverley grabbed the rebound, the Clippers immediately fouled, Beverley made 1 of 2 free throws. George is still struggling, hitting a quick three-point shot to continue the possibility of a miracle for the Clippers. However, as Beverley excitedly rushed to the technical platform, the game ended, and the Timberwolves eliminated the Clippers 109-104.
George has tried his best, slashing 17 points in the third quarter, and the whole game has exploded with 34 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, but he is difficult to support, perhaps, until next season Leonard returns, the Clippers can rise again.
In this victory, the Timberwolves have many heroes, such as Beverley, who has made outstanding contributions on the defensive end, or Edwards and Russell, who are extremely brave on the offensive end, but Downs, as one of the cores, is not!
Towns left the court six times from the middle of the fourth quarter, played 24 minutes, shot 3-of-11, had 11 points and 5 rebounds, and was blocked by the Clippers to cooperate with continuous targeting, becoming a big colander on the Timberwolves' defensive end. Technical statistics after the game showed that Towns was on the floor and the Timberwolves had a net loss of 14 points! What is even more heartwarming is that after Downs was sent off, the Timberwolves instead completed a crazy reversal. It can be said that this victory of the Timberwolves has nothing to do with Towns!
