SKOR.id – Minnesota Timberwolves berhasil memperlebar keunggulan atas juara bertahan, Denver Nuggets, dalam semifinal Wilayah Barat NBA 2024.

Dalam game kedua yang berlangsung di Ball Arena pada Selasa (7/5/2024) pagi waktu Indonesia, Minnesota Timberwolves selaku tim tamu berhasil menang 106-80.

Kemenangan ini membawa Anthony Edwards cs untuk sementara unggul 2-0 atas Denver Nuggets dalam semifinal Wilayah Barat NBA 2024 yang memakai format best-of-seven.

Wolves tampil begitu dominan dalam laga tadi meski tak diperkuat oleh Rudy Gobert yang harus absen karena kelahiran anak pertamanya.

Tanpa pemain bertahan terbaik NBA 2023–2024, pemain Wolves masih mampu tampil solid dan unggul jauh 61-35 pada akhir kuarter kedua.

Tim tamu pun makin nyaman mendominasi laga dan sukses mencetak tambahan 32 poin pada kuarter ketiga.

Nuggets memang sempat mencoba bermain lebih ofensif pada akhir kuarter ketiga dan mampu memangkas skor menjadi 60-82 menjelang kuarter keempat.

Namun, permainan ofensif Nikola Jokic dkk masih belum kuat untuk meredam serangan-serangan Wolves di kuarter terakhir. 

Bahkan beberapa kali percobaan Jokic untuk mencetak tambahan angka mampu digagalkan pemain-pemain Wolves.

Nuggets akhirnya hanya mencetak tambahan 20 poin di kuarter keempat. Sedangkan Wolves menorehkan empat poin lebih banyak untuk menang 106-82 di akhir laga. 

Karl Anthony Towns dan Anthony Edwards sama-sama mencetak angka terbanyak untuk kemenangan Wolves kali ini dengan 27 poin.

“Ketika Anda tidak memiliki pemain bertahan terbaik, Anda harus meningkatkan permainan Anda,” kata Karl Anthony Towns terkait absennya Rudy Gobert. 

“Kami semua paham tantangan yang akan dihadapi melawan sang juara bertahan.”

Selanjutnya, game ketiga akan bergulir di Target Center pada Sabtu (11/5/2024) dengan Minnesota Timberwolves bertindak sebagai tuan rumah.

“Kami berharap bisa menang tak peduli siapa yang bisa bermain dan tidak. Kami akan sesuaikan beberapa hal dalam rencana permainan,” kata Chris Finch selaku pelatih Wolves.

Pada laga lain, New York Knicks mampu memenangi game perdana semifinal Wilayah Timur NBA 2024 kontra Indiana Pacers.

Jalen Brunson kembali tampil luar biasa dengan mencetak 43 poin untuk membawa Knicks menang 121-117 atas Pacers di Madison Square Gardens, New York.

Laga ini menandai keempat kalinya Brunson mencetak minimal 40 poin di tiap pertandingan secara beruturut-turut.

“Saya tak berkata, 'Saya harus mencetak 40,'. Itu sama sekali bukan pola pikir saya. Saya ingin menjadi agresif dan bermain untuk diri saya sendiri dan orang lain,” kata Brunson.

Selain Brunson, kemenangan Knicks juga didukung oleh penampilan impresif dari pemain lainnya seperti Donte DiVincenzo yang mengoleksi 25 poin. 

Ada pula Josh Hart yang tampil impresif dengan mencatatkan 24 poin, 13 rebound, dan delapan assist

Adapun duel kedua antara New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers masih akan digelar di Madison Square Gardens pada Kamis (9/5/2024).
