In the NBA playoffs on April 29, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Phoenix Suns with a score of 122-116, thus sweeping the opponent with a total score of 4-0 and becoming the first team to advance to the Western Conference semifinals. The win not only marked the first time in Timberwolves history that they swept through the playoffs, but also allowed them to break through the first round of the playoffs for the first time in 20 years.
The NBA's new king is here
As soon as the game began, the two sides engaged in a fierce confrontation. The Suns' Booker and Durant showed great scoring ability, but the Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards and Towns were equally unwilling. At the end of the first quarter, the Suns took a narrow lead at 26-25. Heading into the second quarter, Durant and Towns each became the leading scorers for their respective teams, and the Suns held a 61-56 lead at halftime.
No one can stop you
In the second half, the game entered the white-hot stage. The Suns' Booker continued to play well, scoring 18 points in the first quarter, while the Timberwolves' Edwards was no slouch with 15 points. After three quarters, the Suns led 92-90. However, in the crucial fourth quarter, Edwards suddenly came out of the blue, scoring 16 points in a single quarter to help the Timberwolves overtake the score in the final moments. Although Booker also contributed 12 points, the Suns ultimately lost to the Timberwolves 116-122.
Durant was depressed
In terms of full-court statistics, the Suns' Booker scored 49 points and Durant scored 33 points, but Beal was disappointing, scoring just nine points and making multiple turnovers. The Timberwolves' Edwards was the best player in the game with 40 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and Towns also contributed 28 points and 10 rebounds.
Booker, who's to blame now?
It is worth mentioning that although the Suns swept the Timberwolves 3-0 in the regular season, they were swept 4-0 by their opponents in the playoffs, which undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the Suns' Big Three. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, got their revenge with this victory and made a breakthrough in the playoffs.
Huazi T data
In the upcoming Western Conference semifinals, the Timberwolves will face the winner between the Nuggets and the Lakers. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for this dynamic and talented young team, but also a big opportunity for them to keep moving forward and achieve bigger goals.
