In the sixth game of today's NBA Western Conference semifinals, the Timberwolves defeated the Nuggets 115-70 at home, and the series was tied 3-3. After the game, the Timberwolves head coach said in an interview with reporters: "I talked a lot about today's game with the players, and talked about how we need to find our strengths and play the game more freely and in line with our own style." It feels like my team hasn't done their best at both ends of the pitch so far! ”
Malone: The Timberwolves are stronger against each other
And about the 45-point loss in this game, Malone said: "The Timberwolves increased the intensity of physical confrontation, they took the lead, one attack after another. No one wants to be down 50 points in the playoffs, so we'll make adjustments in those two days and fight back on Sunday, see you at home! ”
A humiliating defeat, the Nuggets set a number of shameful records
The Timberwolves won by 45 points, setting the third loss margin in the NBA playoffs, the first two were the first round of the 09 Western Conference G4 Hornets 63:121 Nuggets, the difference: 58 points! 15 Eastern Conference first round G6 Bucks 66:120 Bulls, point difference: 54 points! Jokic only had 2 assists in the whole game, setting a record low in the playoffs in the last three years, and the last playoff game in which Jokic had less than 2 assists was back on 5/30/21, when G4 Jokic only handed out 1 assist in the first round against the Trail Blazers! The 70 points in the game also set the Nuggets' record for the lowest score of the season, and 70 points is also the lowest score in a single game of any playoff team this season! In today's game, the Nuggets scored only 9 points in the fourth quarter, setting a record for the lowest single-quarter score in the NBA in the last three years!
The two sides will have a tie-break after 2 days of rest, and there is no doubt that today's loss will give the Nuggets more room to think, how to play a good team offense is a problem they continue to solve, and the Timberwolves need to continue to be competitive! G7 will definitely be a race between Mars and Earth!
