The series score with the largest disparity is represented, especially in the latter part, in the distinctions between Doncic-Irving and Edwards-Towns.
Doncic and Irving combined for 21 points in the fourth quarter on Sunday night, making eight of ten shots and both of their three-pointers (one apiece).
Edwards scored the only four points for the Minnesota duo, while Towns missed all four of his field goals and maintained his series-long shooting percentage of 28% after two games.
Following the game, Towns remarked, “I have to laugh.” “I can take up to 1,500 shots every day.” Playoffs were shot so well, and confidence was very high. It’s difficult to keep getting these bad bounces and looks that just won’t go in.
Edwards appeared as though he was ready to lead his team back into the series.

“Incredible. “I assume that’s the reason why he’s referred to as ‘Mr. Fourth Quarter,'” Doncic asked, having scored 33, 32, and 33 points over the last three games. “We just get the ball to him; he’s built for clutch situations.”
