Edwards was on fire

After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, the best game on the side of the Timberwolves is Edwards, he shot 16 of 28 from the field, 3 of 7 from three-point range, got 43 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Downs still has too many fouls, friends who have read my article before know that Downs's offense is indeed very good this season, but his small actions are too big, so many unnecessary fouls have also affected the team, if Downs still wants to play an average of 28 minutes per game like the Suns in this series, it is obviously unrealistic, he shot 8 of 12 in this game, 2 of 4 three-pointers got 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Gobert is because the opponent has a big center inside, resulting in his offense failed to open, the whole game got 6 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists in 3 of 5 shots, if it weren't for Conley's excellent organization and control, maybe the Timberwolves would have collapsed, he got 11 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists on 4 of 7 shots, and the blue-collar workers who played well in the first round, Reed scored 16 points on 7 of 11 shots, and Walker scored 5 points on 1 of 4, and they gave good starting help.

Murray was beaten into a water pull

In this game, under the strict defense of the Timberwolves, the Nuggets' offense did not play well, Jokic shot 11 of 25 from the field, 2 of 9 three-pointers got 32 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.

Murray didn't play well every time he faced the Timberwolves, because the opponent had enough defensive resources to fight him, so it also made Murray play very sluggish, 5 of 14 shots in this game, 1 of 3 three-pointers got 17 points and 4 assists, it was too difficult to get an easy shot, Conley and McDaniels' death entanglement made him very uncomfortable, playing like Russell in the last round, looking very nervous, this game is thanks to Porter Jr. standing up, otherwise they would have collapsed with Jokic alone.

In this season, the Nuggets' lineup thickness is obviously not as good as before, which is the key to everyone not optimistic that they can defend the title, but Porter Jr. has risen, and he can provide more stable output on the offensive end, so it also makes the Nuggets still maintain a good competitiveness, Porter Jr. shot 5 of 12 from the field, 3 of 6 from three-point range, and got 17 points and 5 rebounds.

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