Is worthy of MVP! Three facts in the game

The NBA Western Conference Finals continued, and the Thunder took the revenge of the previous reversal and continued to fight the Timberwolves at their home court again. In the end, the Thunder, who was more powerful, defeated the Timberwolves again at their home court without any danger. Then let's review this game together:

The first quarter of the game, the two sides quickly fell into a battle, the scores were alternately leading, the Thunder blossomed more points, the Timberwolves made three-pointers in a row to respond strongly, Dortmund led the team's 9-0 attack wave, Divincenzo and Walker successively made three-pointers to stop the decline. In the second quarter, the Timberwolves overtook 7-0, and the two teams were indisputable. The Thunder scored 5 points in a row and ended the first half with a 58-50 lead.

Returned from a short halftime break, the Thunder suppressed the opponent on both ends of the offense and defense, and opened the score difference to more than 20 points in one fell swoop. In the final quarter, the Thunder's hit rate decreased. Although the Timberwolves repeatedly scored in the basket and scored frequently, MVP Alexander made a pass and shot to stabilize the situation. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves again 118-103, and led 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals Series.

First fact: Alexander is worthy of being the MVP this season. Before this game, the pressure big just won the trophy of his MVP, and today his performance is worthy of the title of MVP. In the whole game, he scored 38 points and 8 assists. Alexander won the full victory in the new generation duel with Edwards opposite. Alexander's victory is not only about his own score, but also about creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. Especially in the fourth quarter of the game, when the Timberwolves were chasing points continuously, Alexander played very calmly, and assisted Jaylenway and Homegren to score continuously when he was double-teamed. The offensive trident composed of the three of them completely defeated the Wolves' defense line.

The second fact: Thunder is worthy of being the "robber team". The Thunder's defense in this game made the Timberwolves miserable. Although Edwards scored 32 points and 6 assists, the Timberwolves' overall offensive performance was not good, and Randle's offense was almost silent and he only scored 6 points. Li De missed all 5 shots from outside the three-point line and scored 10 points. Conley was frantically restricted and only scored 3 points and 3 assists. With such a starting performance, can Wolves not lose? Look at the Thunder team's 9 steals in the whole game, they are worthy of being the robbers. The repeated counterattacks left the Timberwolves helpless. Dortmund, Wallace, and Caruso each became the key figures in the game.

The third fact: The Timberwolves no longer have the will to win. During the game, there was a very interesting scene. When Wolves' defensive champion McDaniels was almost broken when he was staring at Fang Alexander, he directly pushed the latter down. The referee directly gave the violation foul. From this detail, it can be seen that the Timberwolves' team's anxious and depressed mentality was visible. In addition, on the offensive end, who can stand up and save the team from fire and fire except Edwards. Offensive scoring is not only Edwards's task alone. Players must stand up and carry the team's offensive banner together. Otherwise, if the Wolves continue the trend of the previous two games in the next game, it is obvious that the Timberwolves are on the verge of being eliminated.
