The Warriors were 110-117 Timberwolves, 1-3 behind in the series, and this game explained 5 facts!

On May 13, 2025, the second round of the NBA playoffs continued, and the series between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves ushered in their fourth duel. In the previous three games, the Warriors fell 1-2. In this game, Curry, the Warriors' core player, continued to miss the game. The game was played at the Warriors' home court, and both sides continued to use the starting lineup of the previous game. In today's game, the Warriors once had a hard time playing against the Timberwolves in the first half, but it collapsed in the third quarter, and the Timberwolves scored a 39-17 offensive climax, making the game lose its suspense. In the end, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves again 110-117, and the series score reached 1-3, just one step away from being eliminated. With the end of this game, five facts are also explained!

1. The strength of the Warriors without Curry is too different

As the core of the Warriors, Curry's absence has a great impact on the team. Especially on the offensive end, the Warriors have greatly reduced the price, which seems extremely difficult. The Warriors lost all three games Curry missed. Whenever the Timberwolves take shape, few people on the Warriors can stand up in time. In today's game, the Warriors encountered difficulties again. The Warriors, who were originally known as "The Three Crazy", became the team that could not play in the third quarter. They not only scored 17 points in a single quarter, but also lost 22 points in the Timberwolves, successfully digging for themselves. In the game without Curry, the Warriors are under the test, and their overall strength is too different. What's worse is that Curry still has no specific comeback news.

2. Butler is no longer magical

Since Butler came to the Warriors, he has helped and changed the team very much, but his condition has indeed declined, and it is difficult to see the style of the former Black Eighth period again. In today's game, Butler was in a weak situation, with 5 of 9 shots and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring only 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Butler also became invisible when the team urgently needed the stars to stand up.

3. Kumingga continues to have a hot state

It has to be said that Kumingga can perform competitively when his ball rights and status increase. In today's game, Kumingga continued his previous hot state again. In the whole game, Kumingga made 6 of 13 shots and 11 of 12 free throws, scoring 23 points, becoming the team's scoring leader in this game. As it turns out, Kumingga can play better games after he improves his ball rights and status!

4. Edwards has a strong leadership temperament

In today's game, Edwards performed very well and became the protagonist on the court. In the whole game, Edwards played for 30 minutes, made 11 of 21 shots, including 5 of 11 three-pointers, scored 30 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, and performed very well. Under Edwards' leadership, the Timberwolves played very aggressively and firmly occupied the rhythm and advantage of the game.

5. Randall successfully proves his strength

Since entering the playoffs, Randall has been considered a pseudo-star. Especially in the playoffs, his performance tends to shrink a lot. But Randall successfully proved his strength this year and repeatedly performed highlights. In today's game, Randall continued his outstanding form, making 11 of 21 shots, including 4 of 8 three-pointers, scoring 31 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. He also became the most trusted helper around Edwards and successfully made a fortune.
