Having played the worst game so far in the playoffs, can the Timberwolves substitute inside player quickly recover?

Basketball

In a previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G4, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors who played at home 117-110 again. After this game, the Timberwolves widened the total score of the series to 3-1 and won the match point; while the Warriors encountered a huge crisis, it seemed that they were on the verge of being eliminated.

Although the Timberwolves won the game, the team's substitute inside player Naz Reid was actually not ideal. Reed played 23 minutes and 33 seconds in the game, made 2 of 4 shots and 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, scored 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 1 block, and 5 turnovers and 3 fouls. The plus and negative values ​​were also lower than the team's lowest -11. Reed did not show his due scoring ability on the offensive end, and he made a lot of mistakes on the offensive end, causing the team to lose a lot of ball rights. Reed's performance on the defensive end is actually pretty good, but the problem is that as a top sixth man, he has not performed as much as he deserves on the offensive end, causing huge trouble to the team. With Reed's personal ability, he should provide more support to the team on the offensive end, but he did not do this at all in this game. This game is also his worst game so far in the playoffs.

In the NBA regular season this season, Reed played 80 games in 82 games, averaging 27.5 minutes per game, averaging 14.2 points, 6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 46.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.6%. In the playoffs, Reed averaged 25.8 minutes in his first nine games, with averaging 11.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 52.9%, his three-point shooting percentage was 48.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 63.6%.

Reed's overall performance during the playoffs is certainly worthy of recognition. With his playing time reduced, he maintained extremely high efficiency on the offensive end, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage have been significantly improved compared to the regular season. Reed's performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition, and he is also a reliable defender. In most previous games, Reed's performance was impressive. Unexpectedly, in this game, Reed's condition showed such a significant decline. Of course, ups and downs in performance are normal for any player, let alone a substitute like Reed. I don't know if Reed can quickly get rid of the sluggish state of this game in the next game.
