The Timberwolves played against the Warriors at home on May 15. At the end of the game, the Timberwolves successfully defeated the Warriors 121-110. The Warriors played very passively in this game. After all, the Timberwolves began to open the score in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Timberwolves continued to expand their lead. In the second half, the Timberwolves once led by 25 points. Although the Warriors rose up to counterattack in the fourth quarter and once chased the score to single digits, unfortunately, not only was Edwards able to respond at the critical moment, Randle was able to break through to the inside and score. In addition, the Warriors were too digging a hole in front, so the Warriors were still unable to turn the day and lose the game.

After this game, the Warriors' two major defeats were also released. The first reason for the defeat was the Warriors' three-pointers on the outside. When Curry was unable to play, the Warriors' three-pointers had a big problem. Although the Warriors have shot a lot of three-pointers now, the Warriors' three-point shooting rate is very low. In this case, the Warriors really have no choice but to play the Timberwolves. In the end, the Warriors made 11 of 39 three-pointers from the outside in this game. The second reason for the defeat was the Warriors' mistake. In this round of the series, the Warriors have never been able to control their mistakes, which has a huge harm to the Warriors. Originally, the Warriors were not as good as the Timberwolves in hard power. Now that the Warriors are still making such mistakes in the game, the Timberwolves seized the opportunity to fight back. In the end, the Warriors made 17 mistakes in this game, and the Timberwolves scored 21 points using the Warriors' mistakes.

In fact, Butler's performance in the G4 game has encountered many doubts. Although from the current news, Butler may indeed be unwell, but when Butler has no clear injury to play, Butler, as the absolute core of the team, should show his performance. Unfortunately, Butler was unable to do such a thing in the game. When Butler could not hit three-pointers and could not play aggressively, it was really difficult for the Warriors to win, especially when Pojemsky, Kumingga and others were already standing up, but Butler did not do what he should do was really to blame.

After the game, Butler scored 4 of 11 shots and scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and the plus-minus value -17 is the lowest in the Warriors' team, so when Butler played such data, he really had no excuses. After all, when Curry was absent from the game, Butler was the absolute core of this team, so Butler needed to stand up and help the Warriors score. Unfortunately, Butler has been performing very poor since his outstanding performance in the G3 game. Now that the Warriors are eliminated, Butler must also take responsibility. However, although the Warriors were eliminated, no one failed Kohl's trust in this game, and this person was Podjemsky.

Podjsky has been struggling in this round of series, but even so, Podjsky has been reused by Kohl, which has also caused a lot of doubts. However, in today's game, Podjsky performed well, especially when Podjsky was able to hit a three-pointer, which helped the Warriors a huge help. Although Podjsky finally scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, the Warriors still lost the game after Bodjsky scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, but seeing that Podjsky was able to find a good offensive state in the game is also good news for the Warriors. After all, Kohl has always had high hopes for Podjsky, and now Podjsky has finally failed to disappoint Kohl's trust in him.
