At 7:30 on April 24, the first round of the NBA playoffs G2, the Timberwolves continued to play against the Suns at home! Looking forward to another win and expanding the score! In the first half, the Suns were slightly passive, and the Timberwolves' main state was online. In terms of regular season performance, the Suns are ranked 6th in the West, and the Timberwolves are ranked 3rd in the West.
In the second half, Beal and Booker scored three points in a row to widen the difference! But then the game entered the rhythm of the Timberwolves! Edwards' three-point shooting effect was average, but he broke through to the layup, and made foul free throws to continue to score. Walker defended against Booker and scored a three-pointer. Durant scored four straight points to put the Suns behind 71-78 at the end of the third quarter. This game is a bit similar to G1, with the Timberwolves relying on three quarters to achieve a comeback. This time it was an 8-point win in the third quarter and a 10-point win in the third quarter for G1.
In the fourth quarter, Gobert made a foul and hit two free throws. Beal glides to score on a layup, Conley misses a three-pointer, and Walker scores on a breakaway jumper. Booker passes to the front, and Gordon scores on a three-pointer from the front. Gobert scored on a dunk, and Beal missed out of bounds. Gobert scored on a rebound, Conley hit a three-pointer from the corner, and McDaniels scored four straight points. During the period, Booker didn't score three points, and after that, the pass was wrong, and the Suns were a little out of rhythm!
In the end, 3 minutes in advance, Booker had his sixth foul, and the Suns had to withdraw their main force, and a heavy defeat came! The Suns lost to the Timberwolves 0-2! Edwards had 15 points and 8 assists, and the wonder player McDaniels scored 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting. Durant was sluggish and scored mediocre with just 18 points. It can be seen that the Suns are no match for the Timberwolves at all. Booker finished with 20 points on 6-of-13 shooting.
With the end of the second battle between the Suns and the Timberwolves, the Western Conference playoffs have released the second group with a 0-2 score! The first group is that the Lakers are behind the Nuggets by a score of 0-2, and the suspense in this group is smaller. Of course, both losers will have to start two home trips, and whether they can seize the opportunity to pull one back at home or equalize the big score is related to the final direction of the series. Do the Suns and Lakers still have a chance? In the middle of the season, fans' expectations for these two teams were still relatively high, but the performance at the end of the season was not good, and the playoff situation was not too good.
