On April 30, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued in full swing. The Memphis Grizzlies, who have won the first round of the series, have once again come to the Timberwolves' home court for a key G6 game. Perhaps, for the Grizzlies, who have already taken a big lead, the pressure of this game will not be great, but it is not so easy to easily qualify in front of the already rising Wolves. Edwards played a historic performance in the first playoff game of his career, and in the next few games, he was able to maintain efficient data output.
And this game, the Timberwolves, who returned to play at home, ushered in the key G6 battle. Edwards' performance did not disappoint, once again proving his worth. In the first half of the competition, Towns was not in a very good state, only 8 points and 5 rebounds of the data contribution, but Edwards was able to stand up, the first quarter handed over 16 + 2 + 3 data is not enough, the second quarter can also make a lot of contributions at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, continue to help the team get the advantage of the score.
Morant's performance was decent, and the Grizzlies' Dillon and Bane and others also contributed double-digit points, but the Timberwolves still took a three-point lead with a 52-49 half-time score. With the initiative to take the lead, the Timberwolves, who entered the second quarter of the showdown, did not rest on their laurels, but continued to widen the point difference between the two sides. Entering the second half of the showdown, Morant's state improved, handing over 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, still playing the Timberwolves, which were blooming everywhere, with a 32-25 score, to take a 7-point lead.
The gap between the two sides has widened to 10 points, and the situation is becoming less and less optimistic for the Grizzlies. But who would have thought that in the fourth quarter of the regular time competition, the Grizzlies could actually get lost and once again play the same amazing performance as during the regular season. Morant's form gradually picked up, sending 6 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the final quarter, while Jalen Jr. even had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal, which helped the team play a 40-22 score. In the end, the fourth quarter of regular time was completed, and the Grizzlies completed the final quarter with a score of 114-106 to win the game.
Looking back at the game, the overall state of the players on the Grizzlies side is very good, with 4 players scoring in double digits at the start, and there are two major scoring players on the bench. Among them, Morant, who continued to slump in the first half, also sent a quasi-triple-double data of 17+8+11 in the whole game, and his performance was still relatively good. Of course, there are Dillon and Bane, who have handed over 23 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists and 23 points and 7 rebounds, which have effectively alleviated the overall scoring pressure of the team and made great contributions to the team's big reversal of 18 points in the last quarter.
After successfully advancing to the Western Conference semifinals by a 4-2 score, the Grizzlies will meet the old rival Golden State Warriors. In the past two years, the two teams can be said to be intolerable: the Warriors' championship hero Iguodala joined the Grizzlies two years ago, but refused to play for the team, which has caused dissatisfaction among the Grizzlies; and in last season's playoffs, the Grizzlies stopped the Warriors from the door of the playoffs; and in this season's regular season, the Grizzlies mocked each other after defeating the Warriors, and completely tied the knot. And now that the two sides meet on the stage of the Western Conference semifinals, what kind of sparks will burst out, it is really exciting.
