The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and two games are arranged today. The Celtics defeated the Knicks 115:93 away, and the score has become 1:2. In this game, they were once ahead of 31 points and were not reversed again. The Warriors faced the Timberwolves at home, and the two sides tied 1:1 in the first two games, and Curry continued to miss due to a hamstring strain. He has to miss at least two more games, and the Warriors need to withstand the pressure and strive to win one at home to get more rest for Curry. In this game, the Warriors united and Coach Cole adjusted the starting lineup again, but failed in the last quarter. After four quarters, he lost 97:102 and was currently behind 1:2.

The Warriors made 0 of 5 three-pointers in the first half, which was the worst performance since 2007. At the end of the half-time game, Butler of the Warriors performed extremely bravely, playing for 21 minutes, making 7 of 13 shots, scoring excellent data of 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Kumingga on the bench got a 16-minute chance to play, and he seized it well. He made 5 of 7 shots and contributed 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Coach Cole reused him and achieved good results.

Re-matched in the third quarter, Butler and Kumingga both performed well. The Warriors led by 2 points in a single quarter at 31:29, but after entering the fourth quarter, the situation suddenly changed. The Timberwolves improved on the offensive end. At 8 minutes and 46 seconds, with Buddy Hilder making another three-pointer, the Warriors led by 5 points 80:75. Randall then forced a fight against Green and finally scored 2 points. Butler made two free throws, and the Warriors still led by 5 points at 82:77. At 6 minutes and 49 seconds, as the Timberwolves scored several points in a row, the Warriors led by only 1 point at 82:81 and were forced to suspend. After that, the Warriors missed the offense again, and the Timberwolves made a three-pointer and overtook 2 points with 84:82. At 4 minutes and 38 seconds, Zhu Meng Green fouled on McDaniels, and then six fouls left the field. After McDonald made both free throws, the Timberwolves led by 4 points 86:82. In the past 3 minutes and 49 seconds, the Timberwolves scored a 9:0 offensive climax and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

At 1 minute and 56 seconds, Hilde scored another three-pointer and the score reached 89:93. The Timberwolves then made a mistake, but the Warriors failed to seize the opportunity on the offensive end. Edwards made another three-pointer, and the Warriors were in a desperate situation. In the end, the Warriors lost the key game 97:102. In terms of basic data, the Warriors rebounded 36:44, assisted 21:28, steals 6:4, blocked 7:7, turnovers 14:18, fouls 24:23, and free throws 21:21.

2, Butler can be said to have played the battle of the gods in this game, and Kumingga is worthy of his playing time. The two are still honored even though they lose.

Butler made 42 minutes of the game, made 12 of 26 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 free throws, scoring 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and took on the burden of offense and defense when Curry was absent. As the team leader, he faces great defensive pressure, but he withstood the pressure and helped the Warriors keep a close eye on the score with his personal attacks again and again. This game is a battle of gods for him, but unfortunately, the overall strength of the team is not as good as the Timberwolves after all, and it is reasonable to lose a game.

Kuminga won 35 minutes of playing time in this game, making 11 of 18 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and two more blocks. Coach Cole gave Curming a lot of playing time after Curry was injured, and Cole was completely enlightened. Looking at the Warriors' lineup, only Kumingga has excellent physical fitness and personal scoring ability, which can match the Warriors' players who are good at attacking, defense and full of vitality. Kumingga is getting better and better, and the Warriors have the chance to win a victory, thus winning time for Curry, the Warriors' core leader.

Podimsky performed very badly in this game, making 1 of 10 shots in the game, scoring only 5 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, wasting too much opportunity to make a phone call. Hilder made 5 of 11 shots, made 4 of 8 layups, and contributed 14 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, which is considered a fair-size approach. Green made 1 of 4 shots in 29 minutes, scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, and left the court with 6 fouls at critical moments, causing the team's inside defense to fall into a passive position. Davis played for 11 minutes, made 3 of 4 shots, contributing 7 points and 2 rebounds.

Today, Coach Cole changed the starting lineup and directly brought Davis to the starting lineup. His performance was pretty good, but Coach Cole still did not give him too much playing time. Facing the Timberwolves' many inside players, Coach Cole does need to make changes to give him more playing time. Payton II played for 25 minutes, made 1 of 4 shots, with only 2 points and 1 rebound, and his performance was quite poor. Rooney played in 18 minutes and scored 4 rebounds and 6 rebounds, which was a great effort. Moody's only played for 3 minutes and Post only had 2 minutes, and they made no contribution.

Timberwolves core Edwards played for 43 minutes, made 13 of 28 shots, made 5 of 14 three-pointers, made 5 of 8 free throws, scored 36 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and was the absolute hero of winning, confronting Butler's offensive intensity. It can be said that among the entire Warriors' outside players, no one can defend Edwards. Randle played very passively today under Green's defense, but he still performed extremely comprehensively. He played 40 minutes, made 10 of 23 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, made 3 free throws, and contributed 24 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals. He is the key figure in the team's winning. In addition, McDaniels also contributed 15 points and 6 rebounds. Gobert scored 9 points and 13 rebounds, Conley scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and Reed scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Overall, the Warriors still have a big gap with the Timberwolves after they lack Curry. Curry is sure to make a comeback in the sixth game. The Warriors need to work together to win the next game and strive to support Curry back.
