The Chase Center will welcome the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, May 12.

After having a close 4-3 victory in the first playoff series, the Golden State Warriors started their semifinal journey with a 99-88 win. Still, they couldn’t continue with their positive momentum, falling back-to-back losses in their last two matchups. In their previous Game 3, they fought hard in the absence of their key player, Stephen Curry, highlighted by Jonathan Kuminga’s 30 points. Despite the strong start, they struggled with their poor defensive game later in the crucial moments, especially after Draymond Green fouled out.

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves bounced back after the first-game loss, securing a triumphant victory in the last matchup with 102-97. Anthony Edwards’ 36 points and Julius Randle’s triple-double enforced the Timberwolves’ performance, giving them a 2-1 series lead. Moreover, Randle’s perfect timing and Edwards’s hitting crucial shots after his return from ankle injury smoothed their battle to get the upper hand in the ongoing series.

The upcoming showdown between the Timberwolves and the Warriors is a pivotal battle. The Timberwolves will continue to focus on Anthony Edwards’ offensive surge and Julius Randle’s all-around impact. The Warriors rely on Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga to take charge of their offensive load. However, they will focus on Stephen Curry’s strong and healthy comeback. Strong defensive execution and late-game strategies will determine the outcome. With the series ongoing, both teams, having substantial depth, will be looking to get the upper hand for the long run.
