Conley's inside kill in the final quarter helped the team chase the margin to single digits, relying on more points to bloom, they once chased down to only 6 points, but the time was no longer on their side, and the team eventually lost to the Nuggets 107-115.

Nuggets trio 19+

In this game, the Nuggets continued the strategy of the previous game, that is, all the players pulled away to let Jokic eat Gobert alone, and as a result, the first Kicic scored 11 points to disrupt the deployment of the Timberwolves again, and they began to change their strategy to pinch Jokic, as a result, Jokic repeatedly found his empty-handed teammates to send passes, and his teammates also seized the opportunity, they helped the team with catch-and-shoot three-pointers and empty cuts, and the Nuggets shot 13 of 29 three-pointers in this campaign, with a shooting rate of 44.8%.

Gordon was the one who ate Jokic the most in this game, he shot 11 of 12 from the field, and 2 of 2 from three-point range to get 27 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Murray also continued the stable output of the last game, this game Murray shot 8 of 17, 3 of 7 three-pointers and got 19 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, and also hit a long-range whistle in the half.

Although Porter Jr. failed to continue his previous stable performance in this game, the Nuggets' bench players stood up in this game, Reggie scored 6 points and 3 assists, Big Holiday scored 10 points, Braun scored 11 points, the Timberwolves' biggest advantage against the Nuggets is that their bench is thick enough, and their performance in this game is better than the Timberwolves' bench. That's the strength of the defending champions, as long as they win one game, the team will be able to find confidence and stick to their winning strategy.

Judging from this game, the Nuggets' execution is too strong, their players are like machines, everyone will find their own position, waiting for Jokic and Murray to feed the cake, and they can also hit the ball when they come out.

Huazi didn't have the ball in the last quarter

In this game, the Timberwolves' twin towers were blown up by Jokic, this game is like everyone interpreting the difference between supergiants and ordinary All-Stars, Gobert and Towns are far inferior to a Jokic, Gobert got 11 points, 14 rebounds and 1 assist on 3-of-5 shooting, although Towns scored 13 points and 12 rebounds, but he shot 5 of 18 in total, 1 of 3 three-pointers, holding the ball is blind, too brainless.

Conley's game caused the Timberwolves to collapse in the second quarter because of his early foul troubles, and the Timberwolves were not a strong team without his control, and the game was too chaotic, Conley shot 5 of 12 from the field, 3 of 7 from three-point range, and got 15 points, 2 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal. Reed also tried his best in this game, scoring 11 points and 4 rebounds on 5-of-6 shooting, Towns played so brainlessly, to be honest, the Timberwolves should give him more time, after all, he doesn't play randomly.

Edwards did his best in this game, he shot 16 of 25 from the field, 6 of 8 from three-point range, and got 44 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, which is also the fourth time in Edwards' career playoffs that he has scored 40+ in a single game, ranking second only to Doncic among players under the age of 23. Although the Nuggets won this game, it is impossible for them to easily win this series in the future, because Edwards' offensive ability is too strong, and they can't defend it at all.

However, the Timberwolves can't use Huazi so much if they want to win, the team has been very passive in the first three quarters of this game, and Huazi has been leading the team forward, but after the team narrowed the difference to single digits in the fourth quarter, Huazi has no ball, the ball has been in the hands of Towns and Gobert, he follows all kinds of switchbacks and runs, and when the team needs him to score the most, he has no ball, the coach should avoid such a problem, look at the opponent Jokic in the final quarter, Jokic scored 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting in the final quarter, and Edwards scored 44 points in the game, scored 7 points on 4 shooting in the final quarter.
