The Timberwolves, who were on the verge of losing 2-3 on the road to G5, are back at home to compete with the Grizzlies for the first round of the series G6.
In terms of the Timberwolves, the main players are pouring out, and whether the Timberwolves can win the G6 and drag the series into the seventh game has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game.
On the other hand, on the Grizzlies side, although Morant is in good shape, but this campaign is running to the road, whether the unstable Grizzlies can withstand the pressure will obviously be caught in a bitter battle!
However, after four quarters of fighting, with a wave of 14-4 scoring climax, the Timberwolves, who played at home, in the first three quarters, although they once overpowered the Grizzlies, achieved a huge advantage of 13 points.
But in the final final moment, Bane + Tyes Jones hit three consecutive points, instantly turning the situation on the court, and Jaron Jackson Jr. + Morant stepped onto the free throw line in succession, helping the Grizzlies seal the victory in one fell swoop.
The Grizzlies, who finally withstood the pressure, also reversed the Timberwolves 114-106 on the road, strongly won the G6, and also eliminated the opponent 4-2 in the series and officially entered the Western Conference semifinals!
In this game away from home, although the Grizzlies once fell into a passive situation of as many as 13 points behind in the score, fortunately, the team did not mess up, but played a team performance of 6 people scoring in double figures, completing a big reversal.
In the case of Dillon Brooks + Clark + Tyes Jones and other main players, each performing their duties, the play of the three major players Morant + Bain + Jalan Jackson Jr. is particularly critical!
Although Morant did not feel good on the offensive end of this game, only 4 of 14 shots in the whole game, but he dared to fight and handed over an all-round performance of 17 points+ 8 rebounds + 11 assists + 1 steal + 1 block.
Not only did he repeatedly send out wonderful passes on the organizational end, connecting the whole team's attack, but also on the defensive end, he disrupted the Timberwolves' offensive rhythm and deployment many times, and successfully affected the trend of the game!
In addition, as a major point in the team's outside line, The play of Bain in this game also played a crucial role.
Bain fired in full swing, scoring five three-pointers on 9-of-15 shooting, adding seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one blocking in the opening 42 minutes, shooting a team-high 23 points.
And in the case of Dillon Brooks with 6 crimes on his back, it has to be said that the bain's coming forward in this game did not live up to the trust of head coach Jenkins!
Of course, the Grizzlies were able to reverse the victory over the Timberwolves in this game, advancing to the second round 4-2, and the performance of the team's interior lineman Jalan Jackson Jr. was also indispensable.
In this game, Jalan Jackson Jr. went low and high, and with only 6 points in the first three quarters, Jalen Jackson Jr. ushered in an explosion and scored 12 points in the last quarter, contributing 18 points+ 14 rebounds + 1 assist + 1 steal + 2 blocks.
Among them, in the last quarter, the key play of the inside and outside shots, but also almost single-handedly, led the Grizzlies to play a counterattack, for the team to win the G6, made a great contribution!
More importantly, after the Grizzlies eliminated the Timberwolves 4-2 by a big score, the Western Conference semifinals matchups in this season's playoffs were also officially released, namely: West One Suns vs West Four Lone Rangers, and West Three Warriors vs West Two Grizzlies.
And rationally speaking, considering the Grizzlies' outstanding performance in the first round of the playoffs, it may be unknown who will die in the Warriors and Grizzlies Western Conference semifinals!
On the other hand, the Timberwolves side, the team collapsed in the final quarter of this game, and finally was reversed, and the performance of the game in which the score was eliminated 2-4 was obviously difficult for the home fans to accept.
After all, under the comprehensive performance of Edwards + McDaniels, who played well, scoring 30+5+5+2+2 and 24+4+1 respectively, the sluggish performance of Downs + Russell in 26 shots of only 9 in this campaign is indeed hard to blame!
For the Timberwolves, although the team's journey this season has officially come to an end, there is a saying that the performance of this Timberwolves team that has no lack of talent and potential in the new season is obviously still worth looking forward to!
