NBA s shocking reversal dream shatters! The sixth-thousand 39th point gap in the Western Conference, and 21 mistakes are full of regrets

On May 29, the smoke of the NBA Western Conference Finals ignited again. In the fifth round of the match, the Timberwolves went away to challenge the Thunder. However, this showdown became a one-sided tragedy, with the Timberwolves finally defeating the Thunder with a score of 94-124. The Timberwolves fell behind by an astonishing 39 points at most and made 21 mistakes in the entire game, which undoubtedly brought a frustration to their journey this season. The Timberwolves ranked sixth in the Western Conference this season. Their performance in the first two rounds of the playoffs is quite remarkable. They eliminated the Lakers and Warriors one after another, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. However, they lost 1-4 to the Mavericks led by Doncic and Irving in the Western Conference Finals last year, and this year's fate seems to be about to repeat itself. In the first two games, the Timberwolves lost all of them. Although they had a big victory in G3, they lost in G4 immediately, falling behind 1-3 in total score, facing the desperate situation of being eliminated.

As the team's star, Edwards' performance in this round of the series was not satisfactory, especially in the key G4. If he and Randall, who is also in poor form, can play better, perhaps the score will be tied 2-2. However, reality is always cruel. By G5, the Timberwolves are already on the verge of death. If they lose again, they will be eliminated 1-4 in the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, which is undoubtedly an indescribable embarrassment.

What's more, the G5 game is still a away game, and the difficulty for the Timberwolves is even more conceivable. In the game without a way out, can core players such as Edwards and Randle stand up and continue the suspense for the team? This became the focus of everyone's attention. In any case, at this time, they must stand up and fight for the team's honor.

However, the progress of the game was shocking. In the first quarter, only Randle scored 3 points for the Timberwolves, Edwards scored 6 points, and the rest of the players did not score a single point. Alexander of the Thunder scored 12 points alone, more than the Timberwolves' entire team. Under his leadership, the Thunder played very strongly in the first quarter, forcing the Timberwolves to make continuous mistakes and finally ended the first quarter with a 17-point lead of 26-9. This is simply unbelievable, this is the Western Conference Finals! The Timberwolves scored only 9 points in a single quarter. What happened to them?

In the second quarter, the Thunder team scored another 10-5 climax, directly expanding their lead to more than 20 points. As the game progressed, the score difference gradually broke through 30 points, and the Timberwolves were almost beaten to no avail. Although Divincenzo finally scored a three-pointer, Jaylen Williams quickly returned. By the end of the half, the Timberwolves were already 33 points behind. In the first half, no one in the Timberwolves scored in double digits, and Edwards scored only 9 points on 3 of 10 shots, and his performance was very sluggish. In the third quarter, although the Timberwolves played well, with a net win of 7 points in a single quarter with a net profit of 30-23, they still could not fill the big hole dug in the first three quarters, and were still 26 points behind at the end of the three quarters. Not long after the start of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves replaced the main player, announcing the early end of the game. The Thunder won easily and advanced in sight. This game is undoubtedly a heavy blow for the Timberwolves, and they need to reflect and adjust in the coming season.
