18 out of 45! The Big Three pulled their hips, the Suns lost by 12 points, and the first ring was completely blown up by the Wolves, destined for a round of tours

The Suns and Timberwolves are competing for G2 in the playoffs. In the first game, Durant and Edwards had a scoring matchup, with the two scoring 31 and 33 points, respectively. And in terms of the overall lineup, it is clearly the Timberwolves who are superior. In the end, they defeated the Suns 120-95 at home, bringing the score to 1-0.

In today's game, the biggest good news for the Suns is that Allen, who was injured in the last game, will play with an injury, and he can at least have one more firepower point on the outside.

The two teams started as follows:

Timberwolves – Conley, Edwards, McDaniels, Towns, Gobert

Suns – Booker, Beal, Allen, Durant, Nurkic

The first quarter: Iron and mistakes fly together, and the inner line of the sun is hit by dimensionality reduction

As soon as the two teams came up, they were crazy about playing iron, and all kinds of shooting attempts could not be hit, and in nearly 2 minutes, the two sides could not score a point. But the Timberwolves adjusted very quickly, Conley's layup sounded the offensive horn, and the Suns made three consecutive turnovers and were beaten by the Wolves 8-0.

9 minutes and 12 seconds, the sun pauses!

Allen's three-pointer from the bottom corner finally helped the Suns break the scoring drought. Then the two teams turned on the blacksmith mode again, and Downs made two consecutive mistakes, and the score came to 5-8.

While the offensive performance was poor, the Suns also fell into foul trouble, and Durant had already committed two fouls with six minutes left in the first quarter. In the face of the Timberwolves' inside impact, the Suns seemed helpless, and Gobert completed consecutive empty catches.

Finally, at the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led by 3 points 24-21, and both teams had poor offensive performances in this quarter, and there were many turnovers, with a total of 11 turnovers for both teams. The Suns' Big Three combined only made 3 of 15 shots, and there was no rhythm at all.

Second quarter: Beal makes a force, and the Suns overtake

As soon as the second quarter began, the Suns grabbed backcourt rebounds in a row, and Gordon's three-pointers and crossbow baskets helped the team overtake the score 26-24.

Beal, who didn't score a point in the first quarter, managed to find his rhythm in the second quarter, and he broke through, did everything with three-pointers, and scored seven points in a row to help the team maintain the lead.

At 4:15, Booker and Daniels clashed, and the two pushed each other. After watching the footage, the referee gave Booker a normal foul and Daniels received a T.

The scores of the two teams remained deadlocked, and finally at the end of the half, the Suns took a one-point lead at 51-50. Throughout the first half, the stars of both teams did not play well. Of the Suns' Big Three, only Durant shot 50 percent from the field and Edwards shot 1 of 5.

Third quarter: The Suns offense loses power, and the Wolves come back strongly

Yibian fought again, and the crossbow machine threw itself and grabbed it, and successfully scored two points. At 9 minutes and 17 seconds, Aaron's footsteps had problems again and he was directly helped out of the court.

Towns first made a strong kill inside to make it 2+1, and then hit a three-point shot to help the Timberwolves achieve a 60-57 overtake. But Beal and Booker immediately hit back with three-pointers to give the Suns the lead again.

The Suns continued their high-pressure defense against Edwards in this game, but they also paid the price for fouls. Huazi got back-to-back free throws, and the Timberwolves led again 68-63.

After that, the Suns made other mistakes, and the offense fell into a power outage again, and the Timberwolves took the opportunity to play a wave of 8-2 scoring.

At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves took a six-point lead at 77-71.

Section 4:

When it came to the final quarter of the scramble, the Suns still couldn't stop the Timberwolves' rampage. With Downs scoring comfortably under the basket, the Wolves lead was in double digits. After an 11-0 wave, the score was rewritten to 93-76.

With a big deficit and only one timeout left, Vogel could only go berserk on the sidelines. At 7 minutes and 51 seconds, the Suns used up their last timeout!

At 2 minutes and 21 seconds, Booker left the court with six fouls, and the Suns made substitution adjustments and officially announced their surrender. In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Suns 105-93 at home, rewriting the score to 2-0.

In this game, although the Suns successfully limited Edwards' play, he did not play an efficient offensive performance. But unfortunately, the gap between the two teams in terms of internal strength is indeed too large. Whether it's a crossbow machine or Eubanks, they can't stop the Timberwolves' twin tower combination at all. Gobert, in particular, is as easy as picking up points in the box.

The Suns, who were not good defensively, did nothing on the offensive end today. Each of the Big Three is cold to the touch, and although the score is not low, the efficiency is really not high. The Suns, who did not play at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, naturally lost the game. And this is a disadvantage in terms of the lineup, and there is absolutely no room for change.
