G4 Timberwolves 126-128 Thunder, 4 bad news after the game! Dual cores are restricted, can substitute G5 still explode?

NBA Western Conference Finals G4, the Timberwolves lost to the Thunder 126-128. The score was 1-3 behind. After this game, the possibility of the Timberwolves advancing seems to be getting smaller and smaller. They also encountered four bad news after the game.

Randall is still too easily restricted. The reason for this is that Randle was unable to stand up when he encountered high-intensity confrontation. After all, the style of play is soft, resulting in only 1 of 7 shots in the whole game and 0 of 3 three-pointers. Such a performance is impossible to see at all. Don’t forget that Randall is the core player of the team, but unfortunately he was suppressed by Dort. So how can he play G5?

Edwards, either. He is another core of the team, but unfortunately, the Thunder's high-quality defensive resources are almost always against the back line, which ultimately makes him play very difficult on the offensive end. Especially when he came to the last moment, he was so guarded that he could hardly stand up. He made 13 shots in the whole game, which also proves how much defensive pressure he has on the offensive end. He was often cut during the game, and his offensive moves were not enough, which would completely damage the aggressiveness of the offensive end. The Timberwolves also made many mistakes. The Thunder reached 14 steals in this game, which eventually caused the Timberwolves to make 21 mistakes throughout the game. The main core point of the mistake here is Edwards and Randall. Both of them made 5 mistakes, which still reflects the strength of the Thunder's defensive end. In addition, when the Timberwolves lack a good number one position, it is difficult for them to make a smooth attack on the offensive end.

Of course, the reason why this game was so stalemate was because of the bench's runaway. Walker + Divincenzo + Reed + Shannon combined for a total of 64 points. It's just that whether their state can continue is an unknown. After all, the next game is the Thunder's home court, and the Timberwolves' substitute is not very stable. Once the substitute players cannot perform in the next game, what kind of tricks can the Timberwolves give? So the outcome must be double-core, and I hope they can give some responses.
