30 points in the life-and-death battle! Timberwolves scored 9 points in a single quarter, Edwards was eliminated in 7 of 18 shots

On May 29, in the NBA Western Conference Finals G5, the Timberwolves challenged the Thunder away. I thought this would be a fierce showdown, but I didn't expect the Timberwolves to be completely out of shape and lost their competitiveness early. They only scored 9 points in the first quarter and fell behind by 33 points after the half. After that, the Thunder completely took the initiative on the field and lost the suspense early. In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Timberwolves 94-124 and were eliminated 1-4 in a big score.

Timberwolves failed to withstand the last game and lost by 2 points, which also put them in a desperate situation and fell behind 1-3 in a big score. This game is a life-and-death battle for them. Only by winning can the series continue. Unexpectedly, they fell into a downturn when they came up. They only scored 9 points in the first quarter, and the team fell into a full passive position. After that, the players were completely suppressed by the Thunder, and the score gap further widened. The game lost its suspense early and eventually suffered a 30-point defeat.

The Timberwolves only scored 9 points in the first quarter, with Edwards scoring 6 points and Randle scoring 3 points, and other players were completely out of shape. This data also set a new low in the Timberwolves' single-quarter score in the history of the Timberwolves' playoffs. Unexpectedly, they set a new shameful record in the battle of life and death. Such a bad start also made the Timberwolves passive in full. After that, the point gap was constantly widened. In the end, with more than 6 minutes left in the game, the Timberwolves replaced the main force and officially surrendered.

Edwards' performance in this game was still not very good. He still failed to realize his value when facing a life-and-death battle. He played 38 minutes and 30 seconds, made 7 of 18 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, scored 19 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and had 3 turnovers, with a plus-minus value-29 the worst in the team. In this way, Edwards fell in the Western Conference Finals again, and was eliminated 1-4 for two consecutive years, while the Timberwolves still have never reached the finals in history.

In addition to Edwards, Randle finally made some performance this time. He played for 31 minutes, made 8 of 14, made 4 of 6 three-pointers, scored 24 points and 5 rebounds, but he also made 4 mistakes, with a plus-minus value of -28. At the beginning, Randall was a little impatient and made consecutive mistakes, which put the team in a passive situation. In addition, McDaniels scored 5 points in 2 of 13, Conley scored 0 of 3 but failed to score, and Walker on the bench scored 0 of 8 but failed to score.
