On April 22, the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Grizzlies staged a big comeback on the road, they once fell behind by 26 points to complete the reversal, beat the Timberwolves 104-95 on the road, and won 25 points in the final quarter. The course of the game was like a roller coaster, in the second quarter, the Timberwolves led by 26 points, and by the third quarter the Timberwolves led to 20+, just when everyone thought that the Grizzlies would lose the road, they frantically counterattacked, chasing points at the end of the third quarter, the fourth quarter a wave of 21-0 was very strong, the offensive end was efficient, the defensive end limited the Timberwolves, and successfully won.
The Grizzlies' Morant shooting feel is average, and there are seven turnovers, but 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists are also the first triple-doubles of Morant's playoff career, making him the first playoff triple-double in Grizzlies history. In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies played a wave of 37-12, a net victory of 25 points over the Timberwolves, equaling the NBA playoff history in the fourth quarter net win record.
This big reversal of 26 points has also triggered heated discussions among basketball people:
Wang Meng: Bear! Gotta give Clark a gift en masse! No! One gift for one person! Of course, the Grizzlies themselves are really Taff! The 26-point lead for wolves can also collapse...
Bao Renjun: The Timberwolves led by up to 26 points, and in the fourth quarter they were beaten by the Grizzlies to make a 21-0 and finally lost by nine points. Similar to the First Game of the Nets, playing well and being killed, and the Timberwolves, the big score lead was overturned, which was the two most demoralizing ways to lose.
Kong Dexin: In the past two games, Towns has scored 7 sports goals and 10 fouls.
Well-known sports blogger Byron Scott said: The Grizzlies Timberwolves this ball made me stunned by the jaw dropped, they twice led by more than 20 points, the most time led by 26 points, when the Grizzlies played 21-0, the coach did not call a timeout, even Nash will call a timeout, let me go up will also call a suspension, too much like a match-fixing is unbelievable, the key is still at their home, really sorry fans, I really feel wronged for the Gray Wolves fans.
He Xiaolong: Butler initially denounced Downs as a soft egg and left the team in anger. During the regular season, the Timberwolves slapped Butler's face in the face, and they showed off their talents, and it seemed that the talent was greater than the willpower and the mental power seemed to be the truth. But by the time it came to the playoffs, Butler was all right.
Wang Meng talked about the most critical player for the Grizzlies to win is Clark, who cut down 20 points and 8 rebounds. The most critical thing is that Clarke's performance in the final quarter is very good, two free throws, throwing points, and scoring a layup, Clark scored 6 consecutive points, which also directly allowed the Grizzlies to extend the advantage, and it is indeed the key player for the Grizzlies to win in the final stage.
The Timberwolves lost this game is indeed somewhat similar to the Nets, the Nets two games Celtics are overturned by the opponent, of which G2 once led by 17 points was reversed by the opponent, this game the Timberwolves are 26 points ahead of the overturned, such a loss for the team's self-confidence and morale is very big a blow.
Finally, congratulations also to the Grizzlies, who did not give up after falling behind by 26 points at one point, successfully turned the tables, and the series has already surpassed the score 2-1, and most importantly, regained the home advantage of the series. The Timberwolves are a real shame, but they still have a chance next, G4 is still at home, and look forward to their adjustments and changes.
