Another 2-3 in the NBA! The second consecutive win in the West is in sight, and the true core is 15 of 22
On May 15th, the Timberwolves went to the away road to play the G5 Tianwang Mountain battle with the Nuggets! The Nuggets, who are second in the West, have lost two home games and then won two away games in their last four games. The Timberwolves, ranked No. 3 in the West, are also competitive, and Edwards has played his strongest season, hoping that he can lead the team to counterattack and take the initiative.
The first quarter of the two sides was very intense, the overall advantage of the Nuggets was not obvious enough, and the Timberwolves were very tough! The two sides went back and forth, and the equal division also made the suspense of the game confusing. No one can pull anyone away, resulting in great suspense. In the second quarter, the two sides widened the difference, Edwards was not in good shape, and the Nuggets made more efforts, and the teacher cut 19 points and 8 assists in the half, helping the team to open up the gap with a score of 50-44. It can be seen that the defending champions are a little thicker.
In the third quarter of the second half, the difference was completely widened, and the Nuggets achieved a score of 38-30 in a single quarter, and the advantage was gradually established. Jokic even achieved the feat of 16 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, which is admirable.
The Timberwolves fought back strongly, Reed scored on a quick layup, and Towns made 1 of 2 free throws. Gordon scored on a buzzer-beating layup, Edwards hit a 2-pointer and Jokic hit a three-pointer from the front, leaving the Timberwolves a little desperate.
The final score was 97-112! Before this game, Jokic received the MVP trophy at home, and now he has used an impeccable performance to help the team win three cities in a row, and the big score is 3-2 to complete the overtake! The Nuggets got the match point, which is admirable. Edwards was out of form and didn't bounce back in time in the second half.
Jokic finished with 40 points, seven rebounds and 13 assists on 15-of-22 shooting, and Murray finished with 16 points on 7-of-14 shooting. In addition, Gordon has also had excellent performances. On the other hand, Gobert seems to be blown up, and the pressure on the inside line is extremely high. Although the data are acceptable, the counterpoint is not dominant.
