[Match Highlights]

Unlike the Warriors who narrowly defeated the Rockets in the first round, the Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers early, but the rest time was too long, which made them sleepwalking together in the first match of the Western Conference semi-finals. They eventually lost at home and encountered the opening goal of the series. However, the Warriors core Curry broke his hamstring in the first match, and it was still unknown when he would return, making the Timberwolves a more favorable side.

In the second game, the Timberwolves started a big kill at home and wiped out the Warriors with a 24-point advantage, allowing both sides to return to the same starting line. Whether the Timberwolves can continue their form in this game, seize the opportunity of Curry's absence, and win away to win the home advantage, has become the topic of the fans' most concerned.

[Match Review] The Timberwolves also experienced a terrifying moment in the second game of the

series. Edwards was injured in the game and returned to the locker room for inspection. Fortunately, it was not serious and returned to the field in the second half. However, Huazi was still affected by foot injuries. In addition, the Warriors were very aggressive at home in this game, which made Edwards frequently hit the iron as soon as he got up.

Only 3 goals were hit in the entire first half, scoring only 8 points, with the lowest starting value of positive and negative -11. Edwards' sluggish state was also the reason why the Timberwolves were overtaken by the Warriors after halftime when they were 10 points.

Fortunately, after the halftime adjustment, Edwards, who returned to the field, gradually found the feel of shooting. After four quarters, he relied on 28 shots to hit 13 goals, contributing 36 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Randall continued his usual all-round performance and played 24+10+12+3. He not only played the role of the team's offensive center, but also carried the offensive banner when Huazi felt cold. In terms of role players, France's Gotta Gobert performed the important task of defending the no-fly zone. Although he only scored 9 points, he grabbed 13 rebounds and sent 4 blocks. Reed, who came on as a substitute, continued to play the role of a surprise player, made 3 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line, and McDaniels scored 15 points, making great contributions to the team's victory.

Although the Warriors lost at home in this game, their defensive performance impressed the fans, which also left the Timberwolves' first round opponent, the Lakers, caught in the shoot. Many fans said during the game that if the Lakers could have the Warriors' defensive attitude and intensity, they would not have encountered a first round of games.
