On May 25, Beijing time, the Timberwolves lost to the Mavericks 108-109 at home, and were killed by Doncic at the last moment, and the home team fell behind 0-2 in total. The Timberwolves only allowed Towns to play three minutes in the final quarter, and there were nearly nine minutes left in the final game to cause controversy. It's just that Downs only had a 4-of-16 crosshairs in this game, and only got 15 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, especially 36 shots and 26 irons in the West finals and 3 of 14 three-pointers.

As one of the Timberwolves' Big Three, Towns has suffered too much criticism from the outside world, after all, he is not tough enough, and he has been comprehensively compared to Edwards this season, and even many public opinion has suggested that the Timberwolves trade Downs.

However, after the Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference finals, Towns' controversy gradually dissipated, and the autumn harvest and the 7th game contributed 23+12 to contribute a key performance. It's just that Downs once again aroused the accusations of public opinion in the Western Finals, after all, Downs's performance was unsatisfactory.

In the first game of the Western Conference finals, Downs was 6 of 20, only 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, including 2 of 9 three-pointers, and his extremely sluggish performance became one of the important factors in the reversal.

Unexpectedly, now in the G2 game of the Western Conference Finals, Downs only played 25 minutes and 52 seconds, and he only played 3 minutes in the final quarter, and then was replaced on the bench. Downs was unsatisfactory with a 4-of-16 performance, including 1-of-5 from three-point range, which led to him being pinned to the bench in the final showdown as his team was beaten by a quasi-shootout, with Reed being put on the court in the final moments.

In the first two games of the Downs West Finals, he shot 10-of-36 and 26 irons in total, and 3-of-14 three-pointers, both of which were extremely sluggish performances. The Timberwolves are down 0-2 at home and will play two consecutive road games, which is likely to knock the Timberwolves out there.
