Strong reversal ability, the Timberwolves had a goal difference rate of +82.4 in critical moments of four playoff games.

The Timberwolves reversed the fourth quarter in the third game against the Warriors, leading 2-1.

The Minnesota Timberwolves lost the game in the first game against the Golden State Warriors, but they performed comparable to an experienced playoff team. Chris Finch and his teammates didn’t play Fire in Game 2, they beat the Warriors who were missing Stephen Curry before returning to San Francisco to win Game 3 102-97.

The two sides were in a difficult match in the third game on Saturday night, and both sides were in a difficult position to find a stable attack throughout the game. However, the Timberwolves showed some great performances later in the game and finally won the victory.

The execution ability in the late game, especially on the offensive end, is one of the biggest questions about the Minnesota team entering the playoffs. They performed poorly in the regular season stalemate but turned the situation completely in the playoffs. Minnesota's performance on both offense and defense is improving, which is also reflected in the data.

According to The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski, Minnesota has a record of 20 wins and 26 losses at the critical moment of the season, and all four key games in the playoffs won. The Timberwolves had an astonishing goal difference rate at key moments in four games, a far cry from the 23rd-8.4 in the league.

Anthony Edwards performed well in the final stages of the game, and Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels made great progress. Rudy Gobert also showed highlights on the offensive end, such as in Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers, which complemented his usual defensive strength. In addition, role players like Mike Conley continue to hit key shots when the Timberwolves need it.

On the other hand, in the third game, the Warriors had many difficulties in scoring at critical moments due to Curry's absence. While both Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Cumingga performed well, neither of them was able to create enough offensive opportunities on their own when the pace of the game slowed down to help the Warriors secure the victory.

Timberwolves will be confident after Game 3. With their outstanding performances at critical moments recently, they will feel like a chance to win any stalemate.
