4 Incredible
1. Can you imagine that Timberwolves Edwards scored 15 points in this game, can the Timberwolves still beat the Suns?
2. Durant was very embarrassed by the Timberwolves' defense, which is really incredible, only contributing 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the whole game, scoring 11 points in the first half and 7 points in the second half.
3. Today the Timberwolves' McDaniels went crazy, a top 3D who averaged 9 points per game in the playoffs, and today he became a scorer, slashing 25 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, and the Suns players couldn't prevent him at all today.
4. Can you imagine that in the playoffs, Gobert, a big center, can dribble and make a layup from the backcourt 2+1? This Suns have no decent defense at all, and the Suns collapsed before Edwards could exert his strength in the fourth quarter.
