If you want to say that this Nuggets team is like the Monkey King in "Journey to the West", holding the golden hoop stick and killing decisively all the way, beating the Timberwolves, a group of "little monsters".
Especially the "golden pair" of Murray and Jokic, they are simply "two swords combined, invincible in the world"! Murray's sharp breakthrough and Jokic's domineering dominance under the basket are dazzling and exciting!
At the beginning of the game, Pope was like a "marksman", hitting a steady shot in the middle, and Murray was not to be outdone, flying to score a layup.
Gordon and Porter have also made great achievements, and the starting lineup of the Nuggets is simply an "All-Star" level! As for the Timberwolves, although Edwards and Towns also scored, they always felt like they were "playing hide-a-boo" with the Nuggets, and they never found their offensive rhythm.
At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets had an eight-point lead at 28-20.
Although the score gap is not large, it is enough to put the Timberwolves under pressure. Entering the second quarter, the Nuggets were even more on fire, and the three-point shots of Holiday and Murray were like "rainstorm pear flower needles", making the Timberwolves unguardable. Pope's mid-range shooting is also like a "100-step walk", which makes the Timberwolves defenders only look at the ball and sigh.
At halftime, the Nuggets led by 15 points, 56-41.
This score gap is enough for Timberwolves fans to start "crying dad and mother". And the Nuggets fans cheered, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
Entering the second half, the Nuggets did not give the Timberwolves any respite.
Gordon's three-pointer was like a "cannon", which made the Timberwolves' defense collapse in an instant. Pope and Murray also scored in succession, and the Nuggets' offensive firepower was like a "surging river"! Jokic showed a "bully spirit" on the inside, and the consecutive scores made the Timberwolves players sigh.
At the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets led by 27 points at 93-66!
This score gap is enough to make the Timberwolves players begin to doubt their lives. The Nuggets players are getting braver and braver, as if they have seen the tickets to the Finals beckoning to them.
In the final quarter of the game, the Nuggets still didn't give the Timberwolves any chance to fight back.
Murray's mid-range shooting is as stable as a "needle", and Porter's three-point chase made the Timberwolves players completely desperate. Jokic's second offense was like the "icing on the cake" that allowed the Nuggets to further extend their lead.
In the end, the Nuggets ended the game with a huge 100-75 advantage and managed to win at home.
In this game, the Nuggets were like "hanging up", and they were impeccable both offensively and defensively. The Timberwolves were "defeated", as if they were beaten back to their original shape by the Nuggets' "golden hoop stick".
After the game, the Nuggets players said: "We played really well in this game, everyone played their strengths. We have to keep it up like this and try to get even better results in the next races! The Timberwolves players, on the other hand, were saddened, as if they were still reminiscing about the painful loss.
But then again, there are always winners and losers in competitions.
Although the Timberwolves lost this game, they should not be discouraged. After all, there are no permanent losers on the basketball court, only players who keep working hard and keep fighting. I believe that in the future games, they will be able to show more outstanding strength!
As for the Nuggets, this win means a lot to them.
Not only did they succeed in bringing the series closer, but they also showed great strength and team cohesion. They will definitely continue to do so in the next matches and bring more exciting games to the fans!
In short, this game is like a "visual feast", which makes fans watch it with relish and enthusiasm.
Whether it is the wonderful performance of the Nuggets or the tenacious struggle of the Timberwolves, they all deserve our praise! We look forward to them continuing to show even better in the next games!
