The Timberwolves are trapped in 1-3! The four major substitutes are unable to save the starter with 64 points, and Huazirandel only has 21 points

On May 27, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's Western Conference Finals G4, the Timberwolves lost to the Thunder 126-128 at home, and fell into a desperate situation of 1-3 in the series!

The Timberwolves scored 30 points in the offensive end in the first quarter, but lost 37 points on the defensive end and fell into a passive position. The two teams fell into anxiety in the second quarter, and the Timberwolves fell 8 points behind to end the first half. The Thunder once widened the score gap in the early stage of the third quarter. With the performance of substitute players such as Alexander Walker, the Timberwolves caught up to avoid being further widened. At the critical moment of the final quarter, the Timberwolves scored consecutive points by the Thunder on the defensive end. Although Divinchenzo and McDaniels helped the Timberwolves catch up to only 2 points, Edwards made one of the key free throws, and the Timberwolves did not grab the rebound, and the tactics in the last 0.3 seconds did not play, the Timberwolves finally failed. The reason why the Timberwolves lost today is directly related to the sluggishness of the two aces in the team. Edwards made only 5 of 13 shots today and scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and Randle made only 1 of 7 shots and scored 5 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. The two leading stars made such inefficient performances, and it was too difficult for the Timberwolves to win. Among the other three main players, McDaniels scored 22 points, Gobert scored 13 points and 9 rebounds, and Conley scored 6 points. In fact, if it weren't for the outstanding performance of the substitutes, the Timberwolves would have fallen into a big score behind early today. Alexander Walker ushered in his best playoff game in his career, making 9 of 15 shots, including 5 of 8 three-pointers and 23 points, Divinchenzo scored 21 points and 5 assists, Reed scored 11 points and 6 rebounds, and Shannon Jr. continued his outstanding performance in the last game and scored 9 points. In other words, the substitutes of the Timberwolves scored a total of 64 points, exceeding the main players' 62 points.

After losing today, the Timberwolves fell into a situation of 1-3 behind in the series. If they lose another game, they will be eliminated. Two of the three games after the series will be played at the Thunder at home. It should be noted that this season is the third time the Timberwolves has reached the Western Conference Finals in history. They missed the finals twice before, and were eliminated by the Mavericks 1-4 last year.

According to the schedule, the Timberwolves will challenge the Thunder away on May 29. Can they win a game back? Let's wait and see!
