The Minnesota Timberwolves will welcome the Golden State Warriors in game 5 of the semifinal series at Target Center on Wednesday, May 14.

Following a decisive 4-1 victory in the first-round series, the Minnesota Timberwolves lead their opponent with a 3- 1 record. Led by Anthony Edwards’ domination on the court with 30 points, including the buzzer-beater and an 11-point third-quarter surge, they secured a vital game four victory with 117-110. However, Jaden McDaniels contributed a strong effort with 10 points and 13 rebounds, making the winning path easier for his team.

On the other hand, the Golden State Warriors, securing a close win with 4-3 in the first round series, struggled in their semifinal campaign. Despite their significant bounce back in game 3 with 102-97, they again suffered in their recent knock, playing without their star player, Stephen Curry. However, Jonathan Kuminga’s strong 23 points off the bench and 14 each from Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler, but they struggled with their offense and poor shooting.

Game 5 between the Timberwolves and the Warriors could be a turning point for the series. The Warriors will primarily focus on Stephen Curry’s healthy return to the lineup, taking charge of the offensive approach, and shooting to stretch the series. Meanwhile, Minnesota will rely on Anthony Edwards to maintain his scoring dominance and late-game impact. However, Jonathan Kuminga will continue his efficiency, while Jaden McDaniels’ substantial play may be a key swing factor. Ultimately, the game brings high competition with lots of energy, with both teams desperate to secure their journey for the long run.
