On May 27, Beijing time, in the 2024 Western Conference Finals G3, the Timberwolves went to the away game to challenge the Mavericks, and the Timberwolves' inner core Towns performed sluggishly, he only scored 5 points in 2 of 10 in the first half, including 0 of 5 three-pointers, and the second quarter started with a continuous top of Lively's crotch and head causing controversy. Towns scored nine points in the third quarter, but his 0-point performance in the final quarter was still sluggish, contributing only 14 points and 11 rebounds on 5-of-18 shooting from the field, especially 0-of-8 from the field. Downs shot a total of 15 of 54 in the three games, and 39 irons, including 3 of 22 three-pointers, becoming the number one laggard existence of the Timberwolves.

As a star with a big contract, Downs' performance in the Western Conference finals was unsatisfactory. In the first two games of the Western Conference finals, Towns only had 16 points and 7 rebounds and 15 points and 7 rebounds respectively, scoring less than 20 points in two consecutive games, and the last 8 minutes and 40 seconds of the last game were directly abandoned. In the past two Western Conference finals, Downs only hit a sluggish shot of 10-of-36 and 26 irons, including 3-of-14 three-pointers, and his poor performance has sparked criticism from public opinion.

Now when the Timberwolves go to the road with a 0-2 overall deficit, Towns' performance is still sluggish. Towns played 8 minutes and 50 seconds in the first quarter, but he didn't score a point on 0-of-3 shooting, only 1 rebound and 1 assist, and his twin tower combination with Gobert combined for 0 points in the first quarter.

Entering the second quarter of the game, Gobert came back to score 7 points on 3-of-3 in a single quarter, while Downs scored only 5 points on 2-of-7, and Downs played the second most time on the team in the first half of 18 minutes and 51 seconds. It's just that Downs only has a sluggish crosshairs of 2 of 10, including 0 of 5 three-pointers, plus 1 of 2 free throws, only 5 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and a plus/minus of -9 tied for the worst on the team.

The most impressive thing about Downs in the first half was that he pushed his knee to Lively's crotch at the start of the second quarter, and then pushed it to the opponent's head again after Lively fell to the ground, causing Lively to be lifted off the court with a neck injury.

Yibian fought again, Towns warmed up 3 of 4 in the third quarter, and he scored 9 points in a single quarter to help the Timberwolves tie the score in the first three quarters. Towns didn't have a single three-point shot in the third quarter, and he hit the interior more to make kills, which is the way he should play.

In the final quarter of the game, Towns fell into stealth mode again, and he did not score a point in the final quarter, which also witnessed the Timberwolves lose the game point again.

Towns has four years left on his big contract with the Timberwolves in the future, and his four-year, $224 million contract will officially take effect next season. Many public opinion has already decided that he is not suitable to be the core of the championship team, and it is also recommended that Towns be traded away.
