Jokic beats Gobert

This game Jokic once again ravaged the Timberwolves' three towers, perhaps after this round of the series, the Timberwolves' president Connelly should understand that the three stars are not comparable to a supergiant, and Reed is not a star, Reed was beaten 3 fouls in only 6 minutes on the court, and as in the past few games, he couldn't bear it in the face of Jokic who was on fire. The same goes for Gobert, who was beaten into an ATM again.

Jokic shot 15 of 22 from the field, 2 of 3 from three-point range, got 40 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

And the Nuggets now like a 1-second fast break, where Jokic grabs the rebound, and someone over there has already rushed to the opponent's basket and passes directly to complete the finish. Murray didn't play well in this game, otherwise the Timberwolves would have collapsed, he got 14 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists on 6-of-13 shooting, Gordon and Pope played well in two blue-collar jobs, Gordon scored 18 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, and Pope got 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

Edwards was beaten to the short board

This game said that without Conley, the Timberwolves' problem is also out, they have no players who can connect the team, if it weren't for Downs' good enough play in this game, the Timberwolves would have collapsed early, this game Towns shot 10 of 18, 2 of 4 three-pointers got 23 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, although his ball quotient has been criticized, but in this game he was hit in the first half of the knee injury, and as a result, he limped back to defense and offense, his efforts are commendable.

Edwards was beaten out of the short board in this game, because of the lack of Conley's tandem, Huazi after breaking through to within three points, the opponent will be sandwiched, his ability to handle the ball is not good, so there are also a lot of mistakes, and many times there is no way to shoot the ball can only be forced, playing very inefficiently, you got 18 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists in 5 of 15 shots in the whole game, if you want to become a top star, you still need to have no shortcomings, at least be able to do the integration of offense and passing.

Gobert got 17 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists on 7-of-7 shooting, he is not as good as playing to be honest, the offensive end affects the space, the defensive end can't prevent Jokic from being trained by various military forces, Jokic can easily get offensive space with a turn, he is the best defensive player with too much water, and the ball quotient is too bad. Walker replaced Conley in the starting lineup, and he did his best, scoring 14 points and five assists on 5-of-11 shooting.
