Beijing time on April 22, 104-95, the Grizzlies reversed the Timberwolves by 26 points. According to Grizzlies coach Jenkins, Morant apologized to his teammates in the locker room for the first time after the game and promised to play better. More poignantly, Morant also ridiculed Downs even more.
'I knew Morant would be the first to stand up and say he could play better, and he even came back in the dressing room after the game and said that. Jenkins said.
In this game, Morant won the first three-double in the Grizzlies' all-time playoff history, and the first triple-double of his playoff career, with 16 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. However, Morant's hand is not good, and in the whole game, he only shot 5 of 18.
In the first half of the game, Morant shot only 2 of 7, 1 of 2 from three points, and had 5 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. At the end of the third quarter, he had just 3 of 10 shots. The performance of 5 of 18 shots in the whole game is also unsatisfactory.
At one point the Timberwolves were 26 points ahead, and with a lead, Towns smiled and said, "We're in Minnesota," and it felt good to be home. In the end, however, they suffered a major reversal. After the game, Morant tweeted more about Downs, quoting him as saying, "We're in Minnesota. ”
Timberwolves coach Finch also responded to the question of being 21-0 unpause after the game, saying, "We shouted too much before, and I just wanted to get the game into the fourth quarter quickly." Hopefully, later in the fourth quarter we can still leave a little pause to use. "Being reversed in this way will probably make the Timberwolves mentality collapse and it will be difficult to overcome."
It is worth mentioning that James once praised Beverly in the game, and eventually the opponent was reversed. He became the number one poisoner in the playoffs after playoff tyrone-Lou and fast food turnovers. Later, Irving was praised, and the Nets also overturned. This is the third time he has praised the rollover.
