Nuggets vs. Timberwolves

The Timberwolves, whose fate is hanging by a thread, have no way out. Although they played a 2-0 start in the second-round series and took the initiative to take the lead. However, as the series continued, the Nuggets were able to get more and more frustrated, thus completing the feat of letting two chase three and take the lead in grabbing the corresponding match point. Clearly, the Nuggets have found a way to keep the Timberwolves at bay. Even if they can't limit Edwards' play, they can stifle the form of the rest of the Wolves players.

Of course, the Wolves have been able to hold on until now, and they have already proven that they are not general. Their inner twin towers are always terrifying. Moreover, in this G6 battle, Conley, who was injured before, also ushered in a comeback, and the overall strength of the team returned to the highest point. Therefore, in this G6 matchup, the Timberwolves, who have found their form, constantly limited the Nuggets' offense, and were able to complete a 45-point victory with a total score of 115-70, thus dragging the series into a tie-break.

The specific results

In the first quarter of the game, the Nuggets were not in a very good state when they were playing away, and the team only contributed 14 points in a single quarter. Therefore, the Timberwolves, who seized the opportunity, managed to play a score of 31-14, took a 17-point lead, and rejected the opponent's hustle and bustle. And entering the second quarter of the showdown, the Timberwolves can continue to break out. Edwards delivered 5 points, 1 assist and 2 steals, Conley also delivered 5 points and 1 rebound, and McDaniels, who handed over 6 points and 2 rebounds, continued to extend the margin to 19 points with a score of 28-26.

Entering the second half of the competition, the Nuggets, who intended to fight back, still did not get any bargains. In the third quarter of the game, Jokic's 6 points and 4 rebounds didn't work, and the Timberwolves continued to play everywhere, continuing to expand the margin to 25 points with a score of 27-21. And in the final quarter of the decisive victory, the Nuggets, who saw no hope of reversing, could only choose to admit defeat in advance. In the end, the two sides used up the remaining regular time, and the Timberwolves continued to play a 29-9 score and completed a 45-point victory with a total score of 115-70.

epilogue

The head coach of the Nuggets, Malone, chose to send substitute players shortly after entering the final quarter, which was really helpless. And Jokic, who admitted defeat in advance, can only be helpless. He played 36 minutes, 0-of-4 from three-point range, 9-of-19 from the field, and although he delivered 22 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, the performance of his teammates behind him was indescribable. Murray shot 4-of-18 from the field in a single game, with only 10 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists. In addition, only Gordon's 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists have double-digit scoring contributions.

Then see the Timberwolves who completed a 45-point victory at home, thus strongly dragging the series into the battle of Tianwang Mountain. All five of their players scored in double figures, and their efficiency was still very good. Edwards was finally not overloaded, and only played 34 minutes to deliver 27 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Towns also had 10 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, and Gobert had 8 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists. In addition, McDaniels was in hot form, shooting 3-of-5 from three-point range and 8-of-10 from the field in a single game, delivering a crucial 21 points and 4 rebounds, making a huge contribution to the team's 45-point victory.
