The Warriors played against the Timberwolves at home on May 13. At the end of the game, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 110-117. In fact, the Warriors did not have a chance to win this game. After all, they performed well in the second quarter. When Kuminga and others were able to frequently cause fouls in the game and go to the free throw line, the Warriors had already started at this time. However, what people didn't expect was that not only the Warriors' offense was sluggish in the third quarter, but the Warriors also made the Timberwolves frequently change, especially when Edwards broke out with three-pointers, the Warriors were already in a desperate situation in this game. As expected, there was no suspense in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors lost the game in the end.

When the Timberwolves failed to make a three-pointer in the game, the Warriors were able to play back and forth with the Timberwolves, but when the Timberwolves fired from the outside three-pointer, the Warriors' defense completely collapsed, and McDaniels directly defended Butler in the game. The Warriors really had no way to do this. You should know that when the Warriors performed well in the last game, the Warriors were unable to defeat the Timberwolves. Now when Butler played very sluggish in the game, it was even more difficult for the Warriors to win. Moreover, it was not just Edwards who had excellent performance in the game. When Randle played very well in the game, it was really not unfair that the Warriors lost the game.

But for the Warriors, what they have no choice is not the loss, but the successive statements of Curry and Cole after the game. After the game, Curry said that he was not expected to play in the G5 and that there will be no new progress on hamstring injuries before the next injury assessment. Although Curry was expected to be unable to play in the G5 game, when Curry told such a fact, this would have a huge blow to the Warriors. After all, it has been seen from the G2, G3, and G4 games that the Warriors struggled very hard after Curry was gone. The Timberwolves really suppressed the Warriors in the game. Originally, the Warriors' defense could not defend the Timberwolves. Now when the Warriors' offense collapsed, the Warriors were completely forced into a desperate situation by the Timberwolves.

At the same time, after this game, Cole was interviewed by reporters. Cole said that he did not see too many Butler's offensive opportunities. Cole said: Ideally, we would like to arrange more shooters around him to open up space, but without Curry, we can't do this, I will go back to watch the game video and look for more opportunities. It can be seen that Cole is very helpless about the Warriors' current situation. Although Cole knows that the Warriors must make Butler perform well in the game if they win, the Warriors are unable to make Butler feel comfortable to make a mobile phone, and Cole wants to arrange a shooter next to Butler, but unfortunately the Warriors' current lineup cannot do this.

Therefore, for the Warriors now, the most helpless thing is not losing. Although the Warriors are already behind the Timberwolves 1-3, the Warriors still have a chance to turn the tables. Unfortunately, the Warriors are conditional on turning the tables is Curry's comeback, or Butler can carry the team in the game, but the Warriors now have no hope in both aspects. After all, the Warriors have changed many ways to try to defeat the Timberwolves, but now Edwards is becoming more and more comfortable in the game, the Timberwolves have also found a way to limit Butler. As for Hilder, although he can get some points in the game, this helps the Warriors is limited, and Green cannot expect him to save the team on the offensive end. Therefore, in the G5 game, the Warriors may be eliminated by the Timberwolves.
