Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, a game the Timberwolves must win.
Take it, chase it to 1-2, leave yourself at the table, and the series suspense is still there.
Lost, 0-3, let's study what rods to buy to start the offseason.
For the Thunder, the real series starts with an away win.
Back in Minnesota, Wolves did pretty much everything we talked about after Game 2.
Huazi plays, and other players respond, all of which are indispensable.
At halftime, the Timberwolves led the Thunder 72-41, beating the first in the West to let out a bad breath, and the two quarters were divided, so let's look at what happened in the first half.
The Timberwolves led by 31 points at halftime, the largest lead in the history of the Western Conference finals. It was also the first time this season that the Thunder trailed by more than 31 points.
The Timberwolves scored 72 points, which set a new high for a team in a playoff half.
One can't help but wonder if the Wolves are playing in the Pacers' jersey.
With this offensive firepower, you can't lose the ball.
The first two games were in the final quarter when they scored 72 points, the first with 9:10 left in the fourth quarter and the second with 11:39 left in the fourth quarter.
Today, only 2 verses were used.
It's not just the comparison of the two big brothers that Wolves have the advantage.
Alexander collapsed in this game, scoring 9 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-10 shooting in the half, 1-of-4 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, 4 turnovers, and a plus/minus of -25.
Edwards was in a life-and-death battle, and he was brave in the half, scoring 20 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal on 8-of-11 shooting, 3-of-5 three-pointers, 1-of-2 free throws, 2 turnovers, and a plus/minus of +25.
Huazi scored 16 points in the first quarter, and today he finally has the demeanor of a gossip father, right?
But it's not just the comparison of the two big brothers that Wolves have the advantage.
Randle, who has been mentioned before, scored 10 points at halftime and played normally.
In the first two quarters, Reed was 4-of-4 (2-of-2 from three-point range) with 10 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist; Walker scored seven points on 3-of-5 shooting (1-of-2 from three-point range) and 0-of-1 from the free-throw line.
Reed, the best sixth man in the past, opened up, and it was the one who could really hit the Thunder's sore spots. After the second game,People like Maidan and Reed need to come to last year's PJ-Washington event.
In the first two games, Reed played like...
The most outrageous thing in the first two quarters was that Shannon, who only played 2 minutes in the first two games, entered the regular rotation in G3 and scored 9 points in 3 minutes in the second quarter.
Teenager Shannon = Alexander?
It's normal for the Timberwolves to have a 30+ lead.
Thunder, the outside feel is very bad, Alexander's offensive efficiency is not high, the offensive efficiency of the whole team is not high, and it is completely impossible to prevent the Timberwolves' imposing offense.
They scored just 12 goals in the half, making 12-of-40 shots and committing nine turnovers. The Timberwolves shot 27-of-48 in the first half and had just four turnovers.
You must know that in the first two games, in terms of scoring with turnovers, the Thunder crushed the Timberwolves 53-20.
To play a team like the Thunder, you must be able to match the offense.
Why did the Nuggets make it to Game 7? Based on Jokic's personal offensive threat.
Therefore, Wolves still need to play with attacking continuity.
The team that is down 0-2 is very passive. Today is just a city to make the West Decisive suspense, that's all.
A win is a good thing, but Wolves fans shouldn't be too happy.
The next game, for the team, is still a battle of life and death.
Forcing the Thunder 2-2 to the Kings Mountain, the young team may have psychological swings, and this is a chance for Minnesota.
But if it's a 1-3 return to Oklahoma, it's basically a dead end.
One last word, West Decision is quite boring.
The third quarter was not finished, and the Thunder raised the white flag, so Brother Di could also release it in advance...
