The Timberwolves opened all three Western Conference Finals! Only Randall Huazi made two, and three players on the bench made 7 of 36 shots
On May 21, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's Western Conference Finals, the Timberwolves lost to the Thunder 88-114 away, falling behind in the series 0-1. Although it was a away game, the Timberwolves performed very well in the first half. Under Randle and Edwards, the Timberwolves took a 4-point lead in the first half, with a 9-point advantage at most. However, after entering the third quarter, the Timberwolves were hit by the Thunder continuously to reach offensive climaxes, with a net loss of 18-32 as much as 14 points in a single quarter. The lead was quickly smoothed out and fell into a double-digit trail. After the final quarter, the Thunder played steadily and maintained a double-digit lead. The Timberwolves were unable to catch up with points and eventually lost the away game.
Although he was reluctant to lose, the two leading stars Edwards and Randle performed very well. Randall made 9 of 13 shots today, including 5 of 6 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring a total of 28 points and 8 rebounds. He hit five three-pointers in a single game even set a new high in Randle's playoff career.
Edwards' performance today is also very brave. He made 5 of 13 shots, including 3 of 8 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws, scoring a total of 18 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. In the first quarter, Edwards sprained ankle in an offensive round, he returned to the locker room for simple treatment and quickly returned to the arena, showing a strong desire for competition. Unfortunately, it was ultimately failed to help the team win.
However, the reason why the Timberwolves lost today was directly related to the poor performance of many players in the team. Except for Randle and Edwards, none of the team scored in double digits. . McDaniels only had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and he left the court after 6 fouls. Gobert had only 2 points and 3 rebounds, while Conley had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. The worst performance comes from the bench, with Reed making 11 shots (0 of 3-pointers, 7 shots) and 4 points, Divinchenzo making 3 of 14 shots (3 of 12 shots), and Walker making 3 of 11 shots (2 of 9 shots) and 8 points, which means that the three substitutes made 7 of 36 shots (5 of 28 shots). Such performance is difficult to help the team.
It should be noted that this is the third time the Timberwolves has reached the Western Conference Finals in history. In these three Western Conference Finals, the Timberwolves suffered losses in their first game, namely the first game of the Western Conference Finals in 2004 to the Lakers, the first game of the Western Conference Finals in 2024 to the Mavericks, and today to the Thunder.
According to the schedule, the G2 of the two teams' series will be held on May 23. Can the Timberwolves equalize the overall score? Let's wait and see!
