On April 22, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs ushered in a very strange game. The Timberwolves led by up to 26 points in the game, and the final quarter started 0-16 without a timeout, only to be overtaken by the Grizzlies. In the end, the Grizzlies completed a stunning comeback 104-95, and the big score was 2-1.
The Timberwolves won the first game in two away games and were equalized in the second. As the No. 7 seed in the West, the Timberwolves have basically completed their mission on the road. Back at home, the Timberwolves played spectacularly in the first quarter, with full firepower in the first quarter, leading the Grizzlies by as many as 21 points by 39 points. In the second quarter, however, the Timberwolves scored 1 point in more than 5 minutes, and only scored 12 points in a single quarter. At halftime, the Grizzlies trailed to 44-51.
The Timberwolves erupted again in the third quarter, scoring 32 points in a single quarter and entering the final quarter with a 16-point advantage. However, the start of the fourth quarter suddenly changed, the Grizzlies continued to attack, Dillon Brooks, Morant, Bain and others scored consecutively, and the Timberwolves missed consecutively. For nearly five minutes, the Timberwolves scored one point. However, in such a situation, Timberwolves coach Finch still did not call a timeout until the official timeout appeared. By this time, the Timberwolves had gone from 83-67 to a 16-point lead to 85-86.
In the final showdown between the two sides, the Timberwolves players' feel and mentality have obviously changed a lot. The Grizzlies are increasingly confident that they can reverse the win. After Bain hit a three-pointer, the Grizzlies rebounded by five points 93-88. Clark has since scored four straight points, Brooks hit a three-pointer, and the Grizzlies have beaten 10 points 102-92. The game lost its suspense at this point, and the Grizzlies finally completed an earth-shattering comeback! Timberwolves fans were dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were seeing.
In the game, Bain scored 26 points, Morant 16 points, 10 boards and 10 assists, and Clarke 20 points. The Timberwolves Russell had 22 points and eight assists, Edwards had 19 points and Towns had just eight points. For the Timberwolves, the loss was very bitter. The original 26-point lead almost carried the victory into the pocket. But in the final quarter of the game, Finch's command like asleep was incredible.
