In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Suns challenged the Timberwolves away. The Suns' Big Three fell into single-player mode in this game, and their interior line did not dominate on both offensive and defensive ends, so they were in a passive state and finally lost to the Timberwolves 95-120.
Star performance
As a veteran, Durant has excelled on both offensive and defensive ends. Durant's shooting today is mainly mid-range shooting, and he has better control outside the three-point line, and he pursues certainty. The defense is very disruptive to the opposing team, as well as steals and blocks.
Booker's shooting was limited today, and his own hand was not good. Judging by his performance on the field, his breakthrough effect should be relatively good, and he can also use the breakthrough to share the ball. Overall, Booker should cut back on his shots.
Bill played normally in this game, his shooting touch on the offensive end was not bad, and his offensive performance in organizing and sorting out the team was also very amazing.
Team Analysis
The Suns have the Big Three of Durant, Beal and Booker, but have had a tough season, making it through the final game of the regular season to make it straight to the playoffs. This has something to do with Beal's injury, who has been up and down this season and has not been consistent enough. Durant is 36 years old and can't afford much. In addition, the Suns have been lacking a good playmaker, so Booker can be both a father and a mother.
The Timberwolves have had a smooth season and were infinitely close to finishing first in the regular season, but the team's record has been affected by Towns' injury at the end of the season and his absence for a while. But fortunately, Towns made a timely comeback, and the interior line he and Gobert formed is known as the most luxurious combination in the league, which makes many teams with weak interior feel very headaches.
