One of the incredible: The Warriors collapsed in the third quarter

In the first half, the Warriors and the Timberwolves played hard to solve, and the two sides took the lead alternately. At the end of the half, the Warriors led by only 2 points. However, the situation changed suddenly in the third quarter. The Timberwolves, led by Edwards and Randall, hitting a 17-0 attack wave, opening the score in one fell swoop. The Warriors fell into a scoring drought, scoring only 17 points in a single quarter, with a net loss of 22 points, which also became the turning point of the game. You should know that the Warriors have always been known for their resilience and stability in the past playoffs, and such a collapse situation rarely occurs.

Incredible Two: Kumingga became the only highlight

In the Warriors, except Kumingga, the performance of other players is not satisfactory. Curry was absent due to injury, Butler was in a sluggish state, with 5 of 9 shots in the game and only 14 points and 14 points and 7 rebounds in Green scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, but he also made many mistakes. Kumingga became the only highlight of the Warriors. He played in 29 minutes, made 8 of 13 shots, 7 of 7 free throws, scored 23 points, with a plus-negative value of +1. His impact and vitality on the offensive end posed a great threat to the Timberwolves' defense line, and he staged wonderful breakthroughs and dunks many times. If it weren't for Kuminga's outstanding performance, the Warriors' points gap might have been widened.

Incredible 3: The Timberwolves control the rhythm of the game

The Timberwolves showed strong strength and team cooperation in this game, and they controlled the rhythm of the game. All five starting players scored in double digits, Randle scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Edwards contributed 30 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. The combination of the two inside and outside makes the Warriors unable to defend. In addition, the Timberwolves' role players also performed well. Conley, Walker, McDaniels and others were able to hit key balls at critical moments to stabilize the situation for the team. They also did a great job on the defensive end, limiting the Warriors' three-pointers and fast breaks, putting the Warriors' offense in a difficult situation.

With the defeat of this game, the Warriors are under tremendous pressure. Not only are they falling behind 1-3 in big scores, but Curry's injury is still unclear, and the next game will be played at the Timberwolves' home court, and they must go all out or they will be eliminated. The Timberwolves have a strong morale. They are only one step away from the Western Conference Finals. As long as they remain in shape, they are likely to make history and advance to the Western Conference Finals again after many years.
