On May 27, many fans probably watched the game between the Timberwolves and the Thunder. After the first three games, everyone has already known it. The Thunder's shortcomings are in the inside, so the Timberwolves mainly play in the inside, while the Timberwolves' shortcomings are outside defense. Because they have always had big centers, the Thunder went crazy today until they almost abandoned Hartten in the second half, and played in the five-in-one. As a result, the Thunder narrowly defeated their opponents 128-126 in this game.

In this game, the Thunder once expanded the lead to double digits, but the Timberwolves relied on Walker, Diven and McDan to catch up with the score difference in the final quarter. With 23 seconds left in regular time, McDan made a three-pointer, and the Timberwolves fell behind by 2 points. Walker fouled on Alexander, who made both free throws, Gobert made a tip-in at the basket, Alexander made one of two free throws, and then the Thunder began to score a penalty, Reed made both free throws, and Alexander made two free throws, and then Edwards made one of two free throws, Alexander grabbed the rebound, and Jewe made a key steal to win.

In this game, the Timberwolves' role players tried their best. They could leave with their heads raised. In this game, McDan scored 22 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. He has become the first core of the team's offense and defense. As long as Hartten is not present, McDan can stand up on the offensive end and kill the inside, and the Thunder can't defend it at all. Gobert scored 13 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Although he will be named on the defensive end, he will give all his money as long as he has a chance on the offensive end. Not to mention anything else, at least he dares to play.

Substitute Dwen scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, and Walker scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. If it weren't for the existence of them and McDan, the Timberwolves would have collapsed in this game. Their two core players are too ineffective. Edwards scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in the game. He only made 13 attempts in the game. As the leading star, especially at the playoffs, the stars stood up and scored. He was involved in playing without the ball. This is not the way the leading star plays?

Randall is even more exaggerated. He made 1 of 7 shots, scored 5 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 turnovers. After being abandoned in the last quarter of G2 in the series, Randall was abandoned for a long time in the last quarter of this game. It is strange that as long as he is abandoned, the team can catch up with the score difference. Randall's three-pointer was too sensible, and when facing a pincer attack, he played very passively. He had previously played at the top second-in-command level against the Lakers and the Warriors because his opponent was only five small, and his strength and athletic ability were superior, while the Thunder had a big center that could limit him.

Therefore, Randall has also revealed his true colors. In four games in the Western Conference Finals, he averaged 15.7 points and 3.5 turnovers, and his shooting percentage was only 45%. Now he knows the reason why the Knicks traded him away? It's really amazing when facing a small lineup. When facing a big center, you can't play at all. Now that you show up, the Timberwolves probably won't consider using a big contract to renew him in the offseason. Why do you want to renew the contract? Not really the second leader who can be the championship puzzle.

Their three young men burned out in this game. Alexander showed his ability to be a star from the beginning of the game. He would stand up as long as his opponent approached the score. In this game, he made 13 of 30 shots, made 2 of 7 three-pointers, scored 40 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal. Although the efficiency is not high, he stood up to set an example. He is more like a qualified leader than Hua Zi, so he led the team to win the match point. 40 points in a single game is also a new high in Alexander's playoffs.

Jewe also performed well as the second in command in this game. He performed well in the critical moments of the first quarter and the fourth quarter. He scored 14 points in the fourth quarter, made 13 of 24 shots, made 6 of 9 three-pointers, scored 34 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, and the offense and defense were integrated. Jewewe had a better ball in the playoffs. Chet made 9 of 14 shots in this game, made 2 of 4 three-pointers, scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, and scored 9 points in the final quarter.

The three young men scored 95 points in a combined score. The three leading stars in the playoffs should have won the big score. Why did the Thunder win two points in this game? Because their shortcomings were exposed, their shortcomings were the team coach Dagenot. At the end of the first half, the Thunder led by 8 points, and their normal rotation could win points. As a result, Caruso started in the second half, and Hartten was caught up by his opponent. Thanks to Dort's fouls in advance, Hartten returned to the court to help the team re-establish a 5-point lead after three quarters.

Haten was abandoned most of the time in the fourth quarter. If the third young master had not fully fired in the last quarter, if any one of them did not perform like this, the Thunder would lose and directly compete with the opponent for the fifth small. The Thunder had the courage to win, and he called a timeout at a critical moment but failed to send the ball. What tactics did he set up? In desperation, he called another pause, and the leading party stopped the pause in advance. The Thunder's lineup has already achieved the level of winning the championship, but the coach seems to have not reached such a height, and he is still too young.
