Due to the loss at home in the first game, and the absence of Warriors' top player Stephen Curry, the Timberwolves must not lose money. They must take advantage of their home court advantages to tie the total score of the series first. The Timberwolves were also very imposing. They gave the Warriors a heavy hammer at the beginning, establishing a 14-point lead and finally winning.
The Timberwolves used their lives in this battle. The star Anthony Edwards once sprained ankle and retreated, but he seemed very tough. In the second half, he re-represented the Timberwolves, just like nothing happened. The teammates around him also share the pressure on Anthony Edwards. In this game, the Timberwolves blossomed at multiple points, with a total of 6 players scoring double-digit points, which made the Warriors' defense exhausted and laid the foundation for victory. Compared with the first game of the series, the biggest difference between the Timberwolves is that the three-point shooting percentage has increased by 26 percentage points, and the Warriors' defensive end has completely collapsed. Of course, the first game of the Timberwolves series, their performance outside the three-point line was too poor, with only a shooting percentage of 17.2%, so it would be difficult for anyone to win. The Timberwolves players performed much normally in this game, with 37 shots outside the three-point line, 16 of which were accurately shot into the basket, with a three-point shooting rate of up to 43.2%, which also seemed much normal. The Timberwolves are not relying on one or two players. Except for center Rudy Gobert, they do not have the threat of three-point shooting, all other Timberwolves rotated players have hit three-pointers, which makes the Warriors very troubled.
, especially Timberwolves substitute guard Alexander Walker, this game is considered a blossoming iron tree. You should know that before the start of this game, Alexander Walker played six times this year in the playoffs, and only scored double digits in one game. Even looking at the overall performance of the playoffs, Alexander Walker can only average 7.1 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2 assists per game. He was originally regarded as a 3D guard, but his three-point shooting percentage of 29% was a bit bleak, and the defensive end was not able to really limit the opponent's scorer.
But in this battle, Alexander Walker finally broke out, which made it easier for his teammates around him, because there was no point on the Timberwolves field and could be easily emptied. Alexander Walker made 7 of 13 shots, scored 20 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. The outside feels very hot, with a total of 4 three-pointers. This is obviously the best performance in Alexander Walker this year's playoffs. Judging from the depth of the lineup, the Timberwolves have indeed more players who can play tough battles than the Warriors. Before Stephen Curry returns, his teammates around him have to withstand it.
