The Timberwolves' three-pointer rain was too fierce, and the Warriors had no choice but to pause. After the timeout, Divinchenzo hit a three-pointer to chase after the car. He couldn't stop the car. Edwards scored an empty basket and scored 5 points in a row again. Including the 12-0 just now, this wave was 17-0. Kuming accelerated his attack and made a layup, and finally cut off the Timberwolves' offensive wave. It was too difficult. Edwards was unstoppable and Randle was unable to control it. The Timberwolves were completely crazy. They scored 39 points in a single quarter, and the Warriors were almost stunned.
