At one point, it was 26 points ahead, and it was almost a victory. Morant did not play efficiently from beginning to end, but the ghost of the Timberwolves was once again revealed, ushering in a big crash in the final quarter, once being bombarded with a 21-0 frenzy. Timberwolves coach Finch watched the team collapse in order to preserve the suspension.
The Timberwolves lost one of their most valuable wins, and the outcome of this game is likely to be a turning point in the entire series. From the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves were firing at the offensive end, and Beverly went on a rampage to lead the team to 12-0. Bane's three-pointer finally ended the Grizzlies' 3-plus-plus scoring drought, but the Timberwolves hit another 14-3 surge at the end of the quarter, winning by 18 points in a single quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Edwards and Beverley hit three consecutive points, and the Timberwolves hit a small 8-0 surge, at which point the gap reached 26 points. And the big opening and closing of the game began to show from this time. The Grizzlies also reached a 15-0 surge in the second half of the quarter by just 5 minutes, closing the score difference to just 7 points.
The second half was another crazy moment for the Timberwolves, who once again scored a huge 25-point deficit. There were only 15 minutes left before the end of the race. However, the timberwolves' miraculous performance is a big surprise. From 79-54 to 83-83, the Timberwolves were hit with a 29-4 climax, and the gap was erased in less than 7 minutes.
Trailing 25+ twice, the Grizzlies are still waiting for their key moments. When the Timberwolves try to win the game, killing the crazy Grizzlies has not given their opponents any chance. Oh, Morant's crazy strikes, nearly saved the Timberwolves. But Clark and Brooks ended the suspense. The playoffs led by 25+ points twice, but the Timberwolves still failed to win. Shame, not even enough to describe the bleakness of the Timberwolves.
It is worth mentioning that just when the Timberwolves were in the second quarter, James also praised Beverley. But unexpectedly, in the end, the Timberwolves were choked to death by James's poisonous milk. Previously, he praised Tyrone Lu as the best coach in the league, and the Clippers were dismal; he praised Durant and Irving as the best duo in technology, and both became blacksmiths.
James's poisonous milk was even comparable to Buckley's. Can the Sun and Paul stand up?
