On May 27th, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and today the Mavericks and the Timberwolves ushered in the third game of the series, after the big score of the two sides was the Mavericks 2-0 lead, the Mavericks are still sitting at home, if they can win this victory, then the team will win the match point, of course, the Timberwolves will also strive to win, a vicious battle is inevitable, then let's briefly talk about the game process, and then talk about the players' play.

Contest Recap:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Conley scored two points to help the Timberwolves extend their lead, Doncic led the team to return a wave of 9-3 climax, and then the game became a confrontation between Doncic and Edwards, relying on Doncic's stable play, the Mavericks maintained a 5-point lead to end the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Mavericks, led by Irving, once extended their lead to double digits, and then the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, and the difference remained around 10 points, relying on Gobert to hit two free throws at the end of the quarter, and the Timberwolves chased down by 8 points to end the first half.

E-side's rematch with Doncic and Washington helped the Mavericks regain their lead to double digits, but then Edwards turned on his own mode, and he made a series of jumps to help the team catch up with the score, and Hardy broke through to tie the game at 87 at the end of the third quarter. The final quarter of the showdown game became a contest between the cores of the two sides, and as a result, Irving stood up again, scoring 14 points in a single quarter, Doncic scored 7 points, while Huazi only scored 4 points, and finally the Mavericks also defeated the opponent 116-107 and won the match point.

The Maverick Duo is too strong

The Mavericks' duo continued their offensive firepower in this game, Doncic shot 10 of 20 from the field, 5 of 11 from three-point range, got 33 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 1 block.

Washington and Jones also gave enough support to the duo in this game, Washington shot 5 of 10 from the field, 2 of 6 from three-point range with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, and Jones scored 11 points and 2 assists from 3 of 4 from the field. However, Gafford was deflated on the inside this game, with 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 2-of-4 shooting. Despite his athleticism, Gafford's height is a flaw, and he doesn't have a consistent finishing ability against anyone in the three.

And the team's best inside finish is Lively, but this game Lively suffered a neck injury in the second quarter, so he also withdrew early, before leaving, he scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in a total of 3 shots, his movement speed is fast and his height is enough, he does not suffer in the face of the height of the Timberwolves, I hope he can return as soon as possible, otherwise the Mavericks will become very passive without him, after all, the team's other interior Kleber is also injured, and the interior rotation is almost gone.

Downs deserves to be deprecated more than Gobert

Edwards did his best in this game, and in the previous few games, everyone criticized Huazi for shooting three points outside, but in this game Huazi changed his style of play, he has been killing the inside line in this game, and carrying people is also to impact the inside, so it also creates a lot of opportunities for the outside shooters, Edwards shot 11 of 24 in the game, and got 26 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals in 0 of three points, and under his tandem, Conley scored 16 points and 4 assists, and Maidan scored 15 points and 1 rebound.

But the team's other two hundreds of millions of centers played very badly, Gobert got 9 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists on 4 of 4 shots, and now not only Doncic and Irving are on the list to hit him in the game, but even Hardy's backcourt has also played Gobert on the list, it can be said that now Gobert has made the Mavericks players find confidence, and the majesty of the best defensive player is gone, so the Timberwolves also directly abandoned Gobert for 9 minutes in the final quarter.

It wasn't until Doncic and Irving led the team to open up the difference that the Timberwolves realized that they were replaced by Gobert, and it was too late, to be honest, Gobert was not to blame for losing this game, although he was named and played, but except for Doncic and Irving, others were not very efficient in facing him, and Doncic and Irving faced whom, they were both the same, and they were able to complete singles easily. Compared to Gobert, Towns is the player who should be abandoned the most.

In this game, Downs shot 5 of 18 from the field, 0 of 8 from three-point range, and got 14 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists. And it's not like Downs is playing so badly, he has scored 45 points on 15-of-54 shooting in the past three games, which is too inefficient.

Gobert can at least protect the rebounds, and Towns is more abandoned than others.
