Killing crazy! Totally killing crazy! The young Timberwolves were completely killed by the leadership of Edwards and Randall!

In the third game of the Western Conference semi-finals where the Minnesota Timberwolves challenged the Golden State Warriors away today, Edwards and Randle both ushered in a super explosion. Under the leadership of them, the Timberwolves finally defeated the Warriors 102-97 and took a 2-1 lead in the series. From falling behind 0-1 in the big score to taking a 2-1 lead now, the Timberwolves have played a beautiful turnaround in the past two games! G2 soldiers completed a 24-point massacre against the Warriors without bloodshed, and G3 completed a Jedi counterattack in the final quarter and staged a reversal. Such a wild Timberwolves can be said to have left the Warriors powerless! With the Timberwolves leading by 2-1 in a big score, the trend of this round of series has completely tilted towards the Timberwolves. Now the outside world can be said to be generally optimistic that the Timberwolves eliminated the Warriors and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

In today's G3 game between the two teams, the Timberwolves actually suffered a considerable impact! Because not only Jimmy Butler started the playoffs Jimmy mode and scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, Qu Mingga, who was abandoned in the first round, continued to explode and played his career-season masterpiece after G2 made efficient performances. In this game, Ku Mingga played 36 minutes in the game, 11 of 18 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring a career-high 30 points plus 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, plus or minus value +5.

But just as the Warriors entered the final quarter with a 4-point lead, the situation on the court changed due to the fact that Green and Looney left the court with six consecutive bounces. Edwards and Randall made good use of the Warriors' loss in the interior to create consecutive kills, and finally successfully turned the situation around! With Edwards hitting the three-pointer that secured the victory, the game lost its suspense! In this game, Randall played for 40 minutes, made 10 of 23 shots in the game, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 3 free throws, and scored 24 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals. While achieving his first triple-double in the playoffs, he also became the second Timberwolves player to score a triple-double in the playoffs after celebrity Kevin Garnett.

Of course, the key to winning the Timberwolves depends on Edwards' performance! In this game, Edwards opened low and ended high. With only 8 points in the first half, his firepower was fully fired and scored 28 points in the second half, including 15 points in the third quarter and 13 points in the fourth quarter. In the end, Edwards handed over a report card that was 13 of 28 shots, 5 of 14 three-pointers, 5 of 8 free throws, and 36 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. According to statistics, this game is Edwards' 18th playoff victory in his career, and he surpassed celebrity Kevin Garnett (17 wins in the Timberwolves' career playoffs) to become the first person in the Timberwolves' history.

Congratulations to Edwards for winning the Timberwolves' first player in the playoffs in history! May you lead the Timberwolves to continue to spread their wings and fly high!
