On May 17, Beijing time, the G6 of the Western semifinals of the NBA playoffs was held in the home court of the Timberwolves. In this game, the Timberwolves defeated Denver at home by 115-70, and the score of the series was 3-3 flat. The two sides will decide the victory in the next tiebreaker.

After the game, Timberwolves star Edwards was interviewed by reporters. He said that his teammates had always maintained their confidence. They were disappointed in the past three games, but today's big win helped the Timberwolves get back on track.

Speaking of his scoring performance, Edwards said: "I dare to take the shot as soon as I have a chance, because Nuggets gave me a lot of passing opportunities in the last game, and I decided to be more active in this game."

In the last game, Edwards chose to pass rather than shoot at the critical moment, which led to the loss of some scoring opportunities for the Timberwolves. In the G6 victory, Edwards showed his strength as the core of the team, playing an all-round role in scoring, rebounding, assists and defense.

Not only Edwards, but also the whole Timberwolves played very well in this game. In addition to the efficiency on the attack side, they also restricted Denver's attack on the defense side, making it impossible for opponents to find scoring opportunities. Denver only scored 70 points in the whole game. As a young team, the Timberwolves showed their team strength and tactical execution ability in this game. They cooperated with each other on the court, blocking Denver's offensive route on the defensive side, and playing efficient scoring opportunities on the offensive side through the cross cutting cooperation between players. Edwards' scoring ability in the game is undoubtedly a big killer of the Timberwolves. In this game, he played for 33 minutes and 39 seconds. He shot 8 of 17 shots, 4 of 9 three-point shots, and 7 of 8 free throws, taking the highest 27 points in the game. He also contributed 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Such a comprehensive performance made him one of the key factors for the Timberwolves to win. For the next tiebreaker, the Timberwolves need to continue to maintain their status, unite, and work together to win at home and advance to the next round of the game. After this victory, the Timberwolves fans are more optimistic about the team's prospects, hoping that they can create miracles in the playoffs and continue to go further.
