NBA Western Conference Finals G3, the Timberwolves defeated the Thunder 143-101 at home, tied the score to 1-2, retaining the suspense of the series. This game was one-sided, and the Timberwolves opened fire at the beginning, Edwards had no solution, and scored one by one, surpassing the entire Thunder team, with a score of 34-14 in a single quarter and a 20-point gap. The Thunder's offense rebounded in the second quarter, but the defense still couldn't be defended. The Timberwolves were unstoppable and scored 38 points and led to 31 points in the first half. The Thunder played well in the early stage of the third quarter. He saw hope of a comeback 11-2, but he didn't expect to come back from the timeout and collapsed again. He was 12-0 back by the Timberwolves. At this point, the game entered LJ time.
After the game, let's hear what media experts from all walks of life say:
Inspector Zhao of the Ball Circle: It is surprising that the Western Conference Finals will be like this. The Timberwolves won 100+ before the third quarter, and they are 40+ ahead of the Thunder. This is a big win to regain morale. They are too accurate when they return to home, with their shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage both exceeding 50%. The Thunder's performance throughout the game was very strange. Their mentality had long collapsed. They might hope that the game would end quickly and welcome it as soon as possible. G4
Zhu Yipeng: Small problems, just technical adjustments, and the whistle and the champion will come back. But the league should indeed think about how to find a balance between winning 20 with a whistle and losing 30 without a whistle, otherwise this Western Conference Final would be a bit too ugly. The athletes are done when they come on the court and play. Brother Hua later has to consider more...
Kong Dexin: 143 points, the highest score in a single game in the Timberwolves' playoffs; 42 points, the second largest winning score difference in the Timberwolves' playoffs in a single game; 42 points, the largest loss score difference in a single game in a single game in a Thunder's playoffs in a single game. The key goal in the East Finals was won, and the West Finals were won.
Mai Suifeng: The Western Conference Finals are just difficult to evaluate, and the ups and downs are too outrageous. Alexander scored four free throws today, and forced the average down?
Ma Jian said incisively: When there is a problem with the attitude of the game, any technical and tactical analysis will appear so weak and lose the meaning of the game.
The Thunder players' attitude was abnormal in this game, without any energy and spirit of resistance. When they saw that the referee did not give the whistle, they understood that they knew that they could not win, so they gave up directly. It's similar to the situation in the Rockets Warriors' fifth game. Cole also lay down according to the situation, and did not give the league face at all, and he would not act anymore.
This is the business league, and it won't be the end of the series so early, let alone the Western Conference Finals. Looking back now, the Lakers are really bad, and the referee can't win even if they help, which is embarrassing. It is obvious that the Knicks are away against the Pacers. The former has a great chance of winning, and the league will not let the New York metropolis be eliminated early.
