Contest Recap:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Pope scored two points to give the Nuggets the lead, Towns and McDaniels combined to score 5 points in response, Jokic and Pope combined to score 4 points, and the two sides played very close in the first quarter, and the Nuggets led by 2 points at the end of the first quarter. Relying on Jokic's killing in the second quarter, the Nuggets once established a 7-point lead, but at the end of the quarter, Alexander Walker scored 4 points in a row to help the team narrow the gap, and Murray broke through to help the Nuggets lead by 6 points to end the first half.

Yibian replayed Jokic obviously wanted to close the game, he faced Gobert with all kinds of singles, scored 16 points in a single quarter, and was able to play well in the face of pinch shots, and under his leadership, the Nuggets had a 14-point lead over the Timberwolves at the end of the third quarter. In the final quarter, the Timberwolves narrowed the deficit to 10 points with the help of Reed, but then the Nuggets also withstood the Timberwolves' offense, and finally the Nuggets defeated the Timberwolves 112-97, and they won Tianwang Mountain.

Jokic is on fire

Jokic knows the importance of Tianwang Mountain, and at the same time he also remembers that the home fans shouted MVP in front of Edwards, so Jokic was also full of firepower in this game, and led the team to blow up the opponent with his personal ability, Jokic shot 15 of 22 in the game, and 2 of 3 three-pointers got 40 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

In the face of such an unsolvable Jokic, the Timberwolves have no way at all, the loss of this game is that Murray played badly, otherwise the Timberwolves may not be able to hold on to the first half and collapse, this campaign Murray shot 7 of 14 and got 16 points and 4 assists, Porter Jr. did not play well, the opponent limited Porter in the past two games, but also made Porter play very passive, Porter shot 2 of 10 in this game, and got 6 points and 7 rebounds.

However, the other two starters of the team played a good performance in this game, Gordon scored 18 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists on 7-of-14 shooting, and Pope scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists on 6-of-8 shooting.

After winning this game, the Nuggets have taken the lead, and it is estimated that the next game will come to the Timberwolves, Jokic will also play as dominant as today, and Conley is an Achilles tendon injury, he is estimated to still not be able to return, and his absence has too much impact on the team.

Upper Gobert is not as good as Upper Reed

In this game, Edwards was targeted by the opponent, and the opponent frantically pinched him before, Conley was absent this time, and the Timberwolves had no passing players, so they were more unscrupulous to pinch him, and Edwards was also beaten out of his shortcomings in this campaign, with 5 of 15 shots from the field, 1 of 5 three-pointers and 1 of 18 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists.

Downs tried his best in this game, he was hit with a knee injury from the first half, limped to the game in the game, and played well, 10 of 19 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers got 23 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, although Downs has a low ball quotient, but his efforts are still commendable. Alexander Walker, who started in place of Conley, played well, scoring 14 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists on 5-of-12 shooting.

Gobert got 18 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists on 7-of-7 shooting in this game, you may think it's good just by looking at the data, but in fact, his scores are basically won by Jokic after he gets off the court in the face of the opponent's small one, in addition, when he is on the court, Jokic's ATM, as the best defensive player, was eaten by Jokic in various ways, Jokic's turn and hook hand hit him too easily, it's just the same as playing.

Since Gobert's comeback, the Timberwolves have suffered 3 consecutive defeats, and the team can't limit Jokic when he's there, and it also affects the offensive space, and the next game is a backdrop for the Timberwolves, they have to make adjustments, such as changing the lineup, Gobert is obviously not good, I think it's better to let Reed start, he can give the team more help on the offensive end, but he hasn't got too many opportunities in these games.

In this game, Reed shot 3 of 8 from the field, 0 of 3 from three-point range and got 7 points and 3 rebounds. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these two teams? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
