In the Western Conference semifinals G5, the Nuggets defeated the Timberwolves 112-97 to lead 3-2 in the overall score. In this game, when the Nuggets were playing with the whole team, they were almost in a state where all the people were soldiers, and finally easily beat the opponent.
And the five people in the whole game are perfect scores. Jokic blasted 40 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists and 0 turnovers. Don't forget, he's facing the league's No. 1 defense, and he's also facing Gobert, the best player in the league. Even so, Jokic was able to finish the hanging with ease, and this game completely showed his status in the NBA. And as far as the game is concerned, the Timberwolves simply can't handle it.
Braun contributed 10 points and 5 rebounds on 4-of-8 shooting off the bench, and he was the wonder player of the game. After all, the defense is active, the talent is good, and the shooting is also corresponding. In particular, the mental quality and ball quotient are very high, which is suitable for the Nuggets. Gordon finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal on 7-of-14 shooting, and was full of energy throughout the game, and he was very tough on the court. More crucially, he's also very good on rebounding, and he's very critical in this series.
Pope finished with 16 points, five rebounds and four assists on 4-of-5 three-point shooting, and he was a treasure player after his three-point shooting returned. And on the defensive end, he misplaced to limit Downs, and he is very popular both offensively and defensively. Murray was also a key factor, finishing off in the final quarter. With Jokic out of fitness, he scored back-to-back points to help his team kill the game, scoring 16 points in the game.
And Reggie is a passing performance. As long as he appears within ten minutes, his value is still okay. This game is 6 minutes and 6 minutes, which is quite watchable.
However, Porter and Holiday are both flawed players. Among them, Porter was 2 of 10 from the field, 2 of 7 from three-point range, and got 6 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, such a performance is obviously a bastard, and in both games, Porter was abandoned at the last moment, such a decision is still very wise. Even Holiday didn't score any points at all, whether it was the last round or this round, the three points were not scored at all, they were all empty, but they just didn't go in, and they couldn't give substantial help.
