Unexpectedly, the Timberwolves lost again, and the trend of the playoffs changed dramatically after this battle, from falling behind 0-2 at home to leading 3-2, the Nuggets created an NBA miracle, and the important thing is that the Nuggets have played confidently, and G6 is likely to end the series. Looking at the whole court, frankly speaking, the whistle is indeed biased in favor of the Nuggets, like a certain period of time in the second quarter, the Timberwolves were whistled for 3 offensive fouls in a row, which is outrageous, and even the commentator couldn't help but complain that there are 2 that should not be blown, and Towns and Reed both had 3 fouls in the first half.

Of course, the Timberwolves can't just look for referee factors when they lose, they also have problems, such as Edwards being locked up, being caught by Pope, Murray and Gordon in turn, Watts is in no state, and he can't find a way to crack the pinch. Another example is that the Timberwolves can't prevent Jokic, Towns, Gobert and Reed are completely scoring questions in front of Jokic, the dignified DPOY is beaten into a toy, and the Timberwolves also make more mistakes, in fact, to put it bluntly, the Timberwolves lack a second scoring flashpoint.

Once Edwards is targeted, then no one in the Timberwolves can step up. In terms of statistics, Edwards was 5 of 15, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and only got 18 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 turnovers. Downs scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in 10 of 19, but he still didn't play tough enough, Watts was sluggish, and Downs couldn't win without cutting high scores.

Gobert had 18 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, so it was better not to come back, because Gobert would seriously slow down the offensive rhythm of the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves would not have an advantage in a positional battle with the Nuggets. McDaniels had 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and Walker played well with 14 points, 5 assists and 2 blocks, but it couldn't replace Conley's tandem. Reed had a poor performance with 7 points and 3 rebounds, Lee Kyle had 2 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 turnovers, and Morris had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

Nuggets data: Jokic scored 40 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in 15 of 22, hammered Gobert and Reed, including 12 points in the first quarter, and 16 points in the third quarter, Jokic is almost omnipotent, all kinds of fairy goals, there is really no way to prevent it, Gobert is still not able to defend to the extreme, there is a return contract in the second half Kic also beat Gobert to the end, the Timberwolves are dangerous, and now the momentum of the series is completely on the Nuggets' side, Murray 16 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists are not in good shape, However, the defense of Watts is very hard, Porter has 6 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, but fortunately, the defense is remarkable, Pope 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists became an important contributor to the Nuggets' victory, shooting two key three-pointers in the final quarter, Gordon 18 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

Reggie had 6 points, Braun had 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and the Nuggets played off the bench today. The series led 3-2, the Nuggets got the match point, G6 will be a life-and-death battle for the Timberwolves, Towns has to recognize the reality, you have to fire on the firepower, at least 30 points to have any hope of winning, because it is certain that the G6 Nuggets will continue to block Edwards.
