0 of 12 three-pointers in two games, the Timberwolves substitute inside player was completely defeated against the Thunder?
9:29pm, 23 May 2025【Basketball】
In a previous NBA Western Conference Finals G2 game, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves again 118-103. After this game, the Thunder, who won two big wins, widened the total score of the series to 2-0, and they also had an absolute advantage in this round of series.

In this game, the performance of Timberwolves' substitute inside player Naz Reid is still very disappointing. Reed played 28 minutes and 05 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 8 shots, 0 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line, and 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 10 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks. He also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -6. Reed's performance on the defensive end is actually pretty good. He has also shown quite good personal defensive ability and posed certain threats to his opponents. But the problem is that Reed's performance on the offensive end is really bad. As the top sixth man in the league, his scoring ability can be said to be completely unsatisfied, and his effect on the court is also very poor. Reed should have assumed more responsibility on the offensive end, but he did not do this in this game at all, which directly led to the team's lack of competitiveness and the team's miserable defeat to a certain extent.

In the NBA regular season this season, Reed played 80 games in 82 games, averaging 27.5 minutes per game, averaging 14.2 points, 6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 46.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.6%. In the playoffs, Reed averaged 25.7 minutes in the first 12 games, with averaging 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks. He also had 1.8 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 36.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 71.4%.

Reed's performance in the two rounds of the playoffs was actually pretty good. He also showed good scoring ability, but in this round of the series, Reed's performance was simply terrible. He played 27 minutes and 46 seconds in G1 in the series, made 1 of 11 shots, 0 of 7 from the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scored 4 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, and had 3 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -21. Reed did not show his due scoring ability in these two games, and he even made 0 of 12 from outside the three-point line, which can be said to have no feel at all. As a key figure on the team's bench, if Reed can only perform like this, then the Timberwolves will be in big trouble. Their situation in this round of the series is already extremely passive.
