On May 8, the Timberwolves and the Warriors were "smoke of gunpowder" due to the foul in the G1 game, and both sides were tense. The Timberwolves have officially submitted the Warriors' foul clips in the game to the league office, and the Warriors are not to be outdone, saying that they are also preparing to send the Timberwolves' foul clips to the league.

In yesterday's G1 showdown, the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves with a score of 99-88, leading the series by 1-0. This game can be said to be a collision between Mars and Earth. Players on both sides fought fiercely on the court, and defensive actions such as pulling and pushing are common. The Timberwolves were obviously extremely uncomfortable with these actions of the Warriors players, so they expressed their intention to appeal to the league after the game.

Today, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch talked about yesterday's game in an interview with reporters and was a little excited. He said: "In the first game, the Warriors' defensive movements against Rudy (Gobert) were varied, including fouls, pulling, pushing, and even grappling, but the referee did not make corresponding calls." Finch also revealed that the Timberwolves had carefully sorted out and submitted some game clips to the league office, hoping that the league can conduct a comprehensive review of the missed judgments in the game. Not only that, Finch also made a harsh statement, saying that if the referee does not improve the judgment standard in subsequent games, the Timberwolves will have to "determine justice" and "break some boundaries" in physical confrontation.

Warriors head coach Steve Cole also accepted an interview today and responded to Chris Finch's accusations about the Warriors' defense "pull, shoving, foul". Kerr said bluntly: "I also have my dissatisfaction, and everyone actually knows it. When the Timberwolves defended Stephen (Curry), their actions were like bears. The referee could have played 6 fouls. I am also planning to send my video clip to the league."

It is worth mentioning that the Timberwolves rested for a week after the first round of the playoffs, while the Warriors fought with the Rockets for seven games before advancing. This may cause the Timberwolves to be unable to keep up with the Warriors in terms of defensive intensity and rhythm, thus causing excessive defensive movements in the game but not adapting to the penalty. However, it is foreseeable that the Timberwolves will increase their defense in the next game, and it may be difficult for the Warriors to play smoothly like the G1. What's more, Curry has been strained, and the Timberwolves may be more unscrupulous on the defensive end.

Timberwolves player Jaden McDaniels talked about the shift in his defensive focus in an interview today. Due to Curry's injury, his defensive focus shifted from Stephen Curry to Buddy Hilder. McDan admitted: "Defending Hild is relatively easy because his playing style is similar to Curry. However, I must admit that Hild is not as good as Curry."
