At 9:30 a.m. on April 29, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs in the Western Conference G4 started: the Suns played at home against the Timberwolves. The Suns, who are down 0-3, must fight for dignity or become the first team to be swept this year. Suns starters: Booker, Beal, Royce O'Neal, Durant, Nurkic.

Timberwolves starters: Conley, Edwards, McDaniels, Towns, Gobert. This is the first time in the history of the Timberwolves that they have a 3-0 lead in the playoffs! It is worth mentioning that the Suns swept the Timberwolves 3-0 in the regular season, but they were blown up in the playoffs. If the Suns are swept 4-0, the Big Three will become an NBA joke......

Speaking of today's game, the familiar plot played out, and in less than 4 minutes of the first quarter, Nurkic and Gobert both committed 2 fouls. Although Reed can attack, the effect of protecting the frame is much worse after coming on the court. McDaniels was positive, scoring eight points in the first quarter. You know, he only scored 5 points in the last game.

Edwards didn't have a good first quarter, shooting 0-of-5 from the field and scoring just 3 points from the free throw line. The Timberwolves' biggest problem was three-point shooting, shooting 1-of-9 in the quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led by one point at 26-25. The first quarter was a free throw shootout, with the Timberwolves making 14 of 15 free throws and the Suns making 8 of 9 free throws. Today's referee is Foster, who Gobert once mocked for taking money.

Huazi made 4 of 4 in the first quarter, the Suns were a little lax, and in the second quarter, he was directly given a big vacancy, how could Huazi miss it? The defensive gap between the two teams was too big, and Gobert hatted Booker and rushed directly to the fast attack. The Suns only have two people back to defend, how can Durant withstand Gobert? Nurkic walked back slowly, absolutely ......

KD scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks on 7-of-10 shooting in the first half, Booker scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists on 5-of-9 shooting, and hit a half-court whistle shot. Beal scored just five points on 2-of-7 shooting, which was still disappointing. At the end of the first half, the Suns led by five points at 61-56, with Huazi being 2-of-8 and Conley being 0-of-55.

The Timberwolves made 4 of 18 three-pointers in the first half, while the Suns were 6 of 12! After 55 seconds in the third quarter, Gobert made his fourth foul and had to go off the court again. Edwards picked up, and with five minutes left in the third quarter, the Timberwolves took the lead. The Suns lost by 31-34 points in a single quarter, and after the third quarter, the Suns 92-90 Timberwolves, Booker and KD combined for 29 points in a single quarter.

Durant scored 31 points in the first three quarters, Booker scored 37 points, and both men smoked, but the Suns only led by 2 points. In the final quarter, the Timberwolves overtook again in the last 8 minutes. Comparing the defensive intensity of the two teams, the Timberwolves simply blocked and dismantled, Nurkic couldn't defend it, Gobert was close to Booker, and KD threw three non-sticks.

couldn't prevent it, Edwards scored 15 points in the third quarter and 12 points in the fourth quarter, showing his true colors as a superstar. An exploding ball appeared, and Hanako easily passed Bill and faced KD to complete the tomahawk split. The era of the Suns' Big Three has not yet begun, and it is coming to an end, with the Suns trailing by six points in the final 1 minute and 40 seconds, and there is not much time left for the Suns.

Timberwolves coach Finch was hit by Conley, suspected of a knee injury, and was unable to walk on his own, and was directly helped back to the locker room for examination. Beal left the court with 6 fouls, and the Suns also missed 2 free throws, and the game was over. At the end of the game, the Timberwolves defeated the Suns 122-116 and swept the opponent 4-0 in the overall score. Goodbye, Big Three!

Edwards had 40 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, including 31 points in the second half, Towns had 28 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, and McDaniels had 18 points. Booker scored 49 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Durant scored 33 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks, and Beal had 9 points and 2 assists. The Big Three combined for 91 points and still lost! Finally, let's take a look at the data and talk about the mood:
