3 people were ejected, and the Warriors lost 4 in a row! Wiggins shot 4 of 15, and the dark horse in the West won 7 in a row
The Warriors take on the Timberwolves
It's hard to put into words the form of the Golden State Warriors, who recently suffered a three-game losing streak and have dropped to seventh place in the West. Curry can be described as a lonely, averaging 30.7 points per game, an unparalleled individual performance, but Klay, the team's second-highest scorer, only averages 16.1 points per game, as for the champion Lang Wiggins, it is an average of 10.5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, the offensive end is indescribable, and the same is true on the defensive end, averaging 0.2 steals per game and 0.4 blocks per game, which has completely lost the style of last season.
In this game, the Warriors welcomed the challenge of the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. The Timberwolves are currently third in the West with 7 wins and 2 losses, and they have recently won a wave of 7 consecutive wins, and they deserve to be a dark horse team. Edwards has become a well-deserved superstar, with the team's defensive efficiency ranking first in the league, and it's finally time for them to cash in on their talent.
Three were ejected
Stephen Curry was out of the game due to injury, but who would have thought that he was on the bench and saw a good show at the beginning. Klay and McDaniels were entangled, Klay's jersey was even torn, Gobert came up and hugged Klay, but who would have thought that Dream Green directly staged a throat lock, and a big brawl broke out on the court, and finally the referee expelled Klay and Dream Green and McDaniels from the game, and both teams had not scored at this time. This brawl did not affect the Warriors' state, as Podemski scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists to lead the team to 30 points in a single quarter.
The Timberwolves were in average shape, with Edwards scoring 7 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, and Towns having 5 points and 1 rebound, and the team only scored 22 points. After returning from the game in the second quarter, Towns ushered in an explosion, scoring 11 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 4-of-7 shooting, and Conley also had 8 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, and the team scored 32 points in a single quarter. Saric had eight points, one rebound, one assist and two steals, while Paul and Wiggins each scored five points to score 29 points in the first quarter, and the gap was reduced to five points by the Timberwolves at halftime. In the second half, Podemski scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, showing his talent and helping the Warriors score 24 points in a single quarter.
The Warriors didn't score much, but the Timberwolves fell into a scoring drought, with Towns only having 6 points and 5 rebounds, Edwards 3 points and 1 rebound, and the team only scored 22 points, 7 points behind the Warriors going into the final quarter. In the final quarter that decided the outcome of the game, the Warriors without Curry did not have any offensive strengths, Paul got 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Saric 5 points and 1 assist, the team only scored 18 points in the final quarter, Towns alone hit 11 points and 4 rebounds, and Edwards also had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, leading the Timberwolves to successfully defeat the Warriors 104-101.
The dark horses of the West have won seven in a row
In a game that was closely watched by the conflict, the Golden State Warriors who lacked Curry finally lost 101-104 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and had no choice but to swallow four consecutive losses. Saric, who started the game, scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, while Paul had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Wiggins shot 4-of-15 from the field and only had 9 points and 7 rebounds, and last season's 18-point human essence has become an unattainable dream. However, Podzemski on the bench performed well, scoring 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists on 9-of-18 shooting, which is worth cultivating.
The Timberwolves have become a well-deserved dark horse in the West, with a wave of 7 consecutive wins to reach the second place in the West, and the playoffs are not the ultimate goal for them. Downs scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, and shot 5 of 12 three-pointers, making him arguably the best three-point shooter in the league. Edwards also had 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Conley 13 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists, Gobert 9 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists, Chinese player Li Kaier on the bench 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Reed 10 points and 2 rebounds, and Milton 6 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
