Finch: Facing the Thunder s defense, you must protect the ball to have a chance to win

On May 29, in the Western Conference Finals G5, the Timberwolves defeated the Thunder 94-124 and were eliminated 1-4. After the game, Timberwolves coach Chris Fincher said when talking about the reason for the team's defeat: "We actually created a lot of shooting opportunities after the opening game, which were mainly concentrated in the hands of McDan and Conley, but unfortunately we did not shoot the ball, and then we would be hit by the opponent.

"Next we began to be obsessed with singles, and we were intercepted and hit the counterattacked, and the game lost control. I don't think we can play perfect basketball, but facing a defensive intensity of the Thunder, you have to be extra careful and do everything possible to protect the ball to create conditions for victory. But unfortunately, we made too many mistakes in these games. ”

In this game, the Timberwolves made a total of 21 mistakes. They only scored 9 points in the first quarter and were 33 points behind after halftime.
