The Timberwolves are fantastic

Judging from the past few games, the reason why the Timberwolves have been able to stabilize the Suns is mainly because they have better athletic talent and better motivation, this team they may not be able to shoot, but even if they can't shoot, they will do a good job of defense, and now among these teams in the playoffs, the Timberwolves may be the strongest team in defense, they are very good at every position, and they are also very aggressive in scrambling.

In this series against the Suns, the Timberwolves used scrambling to make Suns mistakes to counterattack, and won frontcourt rebounds to play a secondary offense, which are all opportunities they have won with their positivity. The Timberwolves won 11 rebounds in this game. Edwards finished with 40 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists on 13-of-23 shooting and 6-of-12 three-pointers, and his performance in the fourth quarter was comparable to that of Jordan. Downs shot 11-of-16 from the field, 4-of-5 from three-point range, and had 28 points and 10 rebounds.

In addition to the double core, McDaniels got 15 points and 2 rebounds, but Conley and Gobert failed to play at the level they should have in this game, which is also the key to the Timberwolves' failure to establish the lead, if the two played the level of the past three games, the Suns would have collapsed, Gobert got 9 points and 5 rebounds, Conley 11 points and 7 assists in this game Gobert is obviously out of order, Li Kaier played well in this game, scoring 4 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist.

Booker finds himself

The reason why the Suns were able to fight with the Timberwolves and play suspense in this game is mainly because Booker stood up in this game and Durant continued to play in the past few games, this game Durant shot 12 of 17 from the field, 2 of 3 from three-point range, got 33 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks, the reason why Durant was able to play efficiently was that Booker attracted him to defense, and on the other hand, Booker's play made Durant not squander his physical energy in advance like in the past three games.

Booker's game was finally swept away from the slump of the past few games, he played the level that the league's first quarterback should have, 12 of 20 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers got 49 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Beal played very hotly in this campaign, 4 of 13 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers got 9 points and 1 rebound, if Beal can also play normally, the Suns' offense is difficult to restrict, but the conflict of the three-person style of play is destined to be difficult to make the three cores play at the level they deserve, the Suns played a back-to-back momentum in this game, but the lack of thickness of their lineup is also their biggest shortcoming in the face of the Timberwolves.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Timberwolves and Suns?
