The NBA playoffs continued, with the Timberwolves and Grizzlies taking a G6 game, with the Grizzlies leading 3-2 before the game, a series that fans saw as the most likely game to reach the seventh, with both teams not very consistent. Sure enough, in the first half, the two sides played inextricably, the point difference has been floating within 5 points, Edwards performed well, got 20+ data, the Grizzlies blossomed more, halftime, the Timberwolves led by 3 points. In the third quarter, the Timberwolves took advantage of the chase, playing a wave of 14-4 attack to widen the point difference, but the Grizzlies did not want to show weakness in response to the 15-3 counterattack, however, at the end of the quarter, the Timberwolves played a 6-0 small climax, with a 10-point advantage into the fourth quarter, which is the rhythm of the seven; however, the Grizzlies did not think so, they rose to chase, using the outside touch to smooth out the point difference, at the critical moment Bane and Jones's 3 points locked the victory, the two sides after four quarters of competition, in the end, the Grizzlies Lick Timberwolves, The score was 4-2 to advance to the divisional semifinals.
In this game, Morant's hand is not good, but he has connected the team well, Brooks and Bane have 23 points each, and Jalan Jr. and Clark have 18 points and 17 points, and the whole team has 5 people scoring in double figures. Surprisingly, Morant was not happy with the series, saying after the game that the other 3 wins were too ugly except for G2. As a young team, players lack playoff experience, and it is normal to have ups and downs in the game. In the following Western Conference semifinals, the Grizzlies will face the mighty Warriors. Although the Warriors have suffered a lot of losses against the Grizzlies in the past two seasons, a big reason is that Curry and Thompson have injuries, and now the Splash Brothers are full of blood, which is the best time for them to take revenge, and I personally believe that if the Grizzlies do not seize the opportunity, the probability will be eliminated 1-4.
Although the Timberwolves stopped in the first round, the team has made significant improvements compared to previous seasons, especially the young players, Edwards and McDaniels, although they are only second-year rookies, have played beyond their age, and Edwards averaged 25 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the first round of the series. McDaniels can also average 9 points per game, and their performance is significantly more stable than Russell, who has been in the game for many years. Coupled with downs, who are playing more and more domineeringly, and the addition of defensive player Beverley, the Timberwolves have the hope of advancing to the playoffs in recent seasons, and more importantly, head coach Finch is also very suitable for the team, and the time of one season has made the players have a chemical reaction. He is reportedly expected to sign a multi-year contract with the Timberwolves in the offseason. Therefore, the Timberwolves are no longer the huskies of everyone, and the future of the team is still very optimistic.
