It's amazing, it's amazing.
The Timberwolves have several main attack points, and they dream of being stealed by the ubiquitous Caruso at night.
Edwards + Randall + Reed, all of them were taught by my family to be people.
Last offseason, the Thunder did not hesitate to trade the 31-year-old Caruso from the Bulls with young core guard Giddey, and quickly reached a four-year, $81.1 million contract extension with him in the same year.
In this situation, Caruso's parent team broke the defense to the point that they could no longer break the defense, accusing the team management of not letting him go for the sake of Tucker Jr. back then. In the summer of 2021, the Lakers refused to offer Caruso the three-year, $30 million contract extension they wanted, but instead gave Tucker Jr. a three-year, $32 million contract......
Speaking of the game, under the leadership of Caruso, the G5 Thunder burst out with incredible defensive energy, and only allowed the Timberwolves to score 9 points in the first quarter. That's right, 9 points, 9 points in a single quarter, a battle that should have been fought to the death, but the Timberwolves created the lowest score in any quarter of the playoffs in team history, and they had no power to fight back at all.
So after the first quarter (26-9), the Thunder blew the horn of victory. Although the Timberwolves recovered in the second quarter, the Thunder attacked in full swing in the quarter, blasting a 39-23 attack wave in a single quarter and continuing to frantically expand the lead.
The Thunder entered the second half with a huge 33-point lead, and the Timberwolves should not be expected to achieve a super comeback against a team that has topped the league in defensive efficiency so far in the regular season and playoffs this season, so the game was completely out of suspense after the first half.
In the end, the Thunder 124-94 soldiers bloodlessly beat the Timberwolves, and the entire Western Conference Finals easily advanced 4-1, becoming the first team to reach the Finals this year, and then waiting for the winner between the Pacers (3) VS Knicks (1).
The stats of the entire Thunder team are as follows:
The Timberwolves' full team stats are as follows:
In terms of meritorious deeds, it must be said that Caruso (24 minutes off the bench, 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals) is the MVP, and the significance of the victory is far from being reflected, which is why he is blown alone!
