The Minnesota Timberwolves, who are No. 1 in the West, are now strong, but no one seems to see them as favorites to win the championship, for the simple reason that the players on this team have never really proven themselves, such as Jazz duo Conley and Gobert, as well as the double champion of Towns and Edwards. In this game, the Timberwolves will challenge the Miami Heat away from home, and every season, the Heat's record is not satisfactory, but they can always prove themselves on the stage of the playoffs and complete the following miracles.
The Heat in the offseason did not get Lillard, nor did they get Holiday and Harden, and the new season is full of injuries, but the team has been soaring all the way, and is currently ranked fifth in the East.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Heat showed the strength of the Eastern champions, Herro got 10 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 4-of-6 shooting, Butler had 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, Adebayo also had 7 points, 1 assist and 1 steal, and the team scored 33 points in a single quarter, while the Timberwolves only scored 22 points, including McDaniels 6 points and 2 rebounds, and Towns and Edwards each scored 4 points. After returning from the game in the second quarter, the Heat continued to exert their strength, Herro scored 7 points and 1 steal, Dunroe on the bench had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Harks had 6 points and 1 rebound, Richardson also had 5 points and 2 rebounds, and the team scored another 33 points in a single quarter.
The Timberwolves also found their form, Edwards scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, Towns had 8 points and 2 rebounds, and the team also scored 32 points in a single quarter, and at the end of the half, the Heat led the Timberwolves by as many as 12 points 66-54. In the second half, the Heat suddenly fell into a scoring drought, and Love scored 6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, but the team only scored 17 points. The Timberwolves seized the opportunity, Edwards scored 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, and Downs Gobert scored 4 points each, and the team scored 23 points in a single quarter to successfully narrow the gap to 6 points.
In the final quarter of the game, the Timberwolves quickly overtook the score, the Heat kept catching up, Herro tied the score with three key points, Edwards hit two violent dunks in a row, Herro made two free throws, Edwards leaned back and hit, Richardson continued to live three points, Towns scored on a jumper, Adebayo threw a shot, Gobert received a violent dunk in the air, Herro continued to make a jumper, Gobert hit one of two free throws, Adebayo threw and there was, and Walker made two free throws to end the suspense. In the end, the Minnesota Timberwolves managed to beat the Miami Heat 112-108.
The Miami Heat showed their strength, Herro had 25 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Adebayo had 22 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Dunroe on the bench had 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Richardson had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. In the past, Butler looked down on the Timberwolves, but now the Timberwolves have long since metamorphosed, they are in first place in the West this season, the team has defense, and there are key gentlemen.
That's right, this key gentleman is Edwards, after the whole game, Edwards shot 13 of 25, scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 5 of 7 shots in the final quarter, once again making us realize who is the star of this team. Towns had only 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists on 7-of-14 shooting, Conley had 12 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists, McDaniels had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Reed had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, Gobert had 9 points and 16 rebounds, and Lee Kyle had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.
