The league s number one! 143 points, vulnerable, Fincher wants to finish the game, Thunder champion dream shattered

Under the desperate situation of falling behind 0-2, the Minnesota Timberwolves played out their energy in the third game of the series. In the end, the Timberwolves beat the Thunder with 143-101 and rewritten the big score to 1-2.

In this game, the Thunder made the Timberwolves score 143 points, setting a new high for this season (regular season + playoffs), which was previously 140 points lost against the Nuggets on March 11. This season, the Thunder's defense has always been the highest level in the league. In the playoffs, the Thunder relies on its own strong defense, but in this game, the Thunder's defense, the No. 1 in the league, was completely broken by the Timberwolves, and the internal and external lines collapsed completely. It can be said that it is the worst game in the playoffs so far.

Judging from just one game, the Thunder's defense, the No. 1 in the league, is indeed a bit vulnerable. Facing the Timberwolves' size, the Thunder is also a bit difficult. The Timberwolves can refer to the Nuggets' playing style, which may make this round of series longer.

In this game, Alexander, who performed well in the previous two games, performed poorly. In the whole game, Alexander scored only 14 points, made 4 of 13 shots, and only 4 free throws, which was completely below his average level. After the game, Timberwolves coach Fincher talked about Alexander's defense, among which Fincher talked about the cleaner defense and we did not foul, which also implied that the referee was dissatisfied with the penalty in the previous two games.

According to statistics, no team lost more than 40 in the playoffs and won the championship. The disastrous defeat in this game also added new problems to the Thunder's championship path.
