G5 starts! The Timberwolves scored 9 points in the first quarter, the lowest record in the team s history in the playoffs, and was beaten again

NBA Western Conference Finals G5, the Oklahoma City Thunders faced the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. As soon as the game began, the Thunder showed terrifying dominance, leading the Timberwolves 26-9 in the first quarter and directly defeated the game.

And the Timberwolves' performance was a disaster - they scored only 9 points in a single quarter, setting a record for the lowest score in a single quarter in the team's history, completely falling into a passive position. At the beginning of the game, the Thunder were in full swing. Alexander played in 12 minutes in the first quarter, made 5 of 7 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, efficiently scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists, with a shooting percentage of up to 71%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 100%.

He was like a sharp blade, easily tearing open the Timberwolves' defense line, and he was able to capture it whether it was a breakthrough layup or a three-pointer from the outside. Under his leadership, the Thunder team's offense was smooth and blooming at multiple points.

, and the Timberwolves was in a nightmare start. The team's shooting feels cold, hitting only 3 goals in 20 shots, with a shooting percentage as low as 15%. Except for Huazi and Randall who scored 6 points and 3 points, the rest of the teammates had no touch and did not score a single point.

The sharp offense on weekdays disappeared, and the players seemed panicked under the Thunder's tight defense, made mistakes many times, and the offensive rhythm was completely disrupted.

Looking back at the Timberwolves' history, such a low single-quarter score is extremely rare on the playoff stage. This data not only reflects their poor start to the game, but also puts the team in a huge dilemma.

Compared with the Thunder's strong attack, the Timberwolves' attack was like a mud bull entering the sea without any turmoil. The huge advantage established by the Thunder in the first quarter undoubtedly gave them great confidence. This confidence will be transformed into powerful motivation, inspiring them to continue to maintain high-intensity offense and defense in subsequent games.

Thunder completely suppressed the Timberwolves with a nearly perfect first quarter performance. The Timberwolves are currently lagging as much as 20 and are rushing to spend it completely. If the Timberwolves cannot rebound quickly, this series may end here.

Could it be that the Western Conference Final is really going to end so hasty?
