The Timberwolves didn't want to dream too much at night, winning the series 4-1, and Edwards beat off three superstars in 2 years

The Warriors' first brother Curry continued to miss the NBA playoffs in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals on the 15th, and the Timberwolves didn't want to dream too much at night, and under the leadership of "Ant-Man" Edwards and Randle combined to score 51 points, they defeated the Warriors 121-110 and won the series 4-1, advancing to the Western Conference championship for two consecutive seasons, and will face the winner between the Thunder and the Nuggets.

Even with their lives hanging by a thread, the Warriors were still weak yesterday, shooting just 28.2 percent from three-point range, and the defense couldn't limit the Timberwolves, allowing the opposing team to shoot 62.8 percent. Not only that, "Master Chief" Butler was hidden, contributing only 17 points on 4-of-11 shooting, and Podzemsky was unable to lead the team to victory despite stepping up and scoring a team-high 28 points.

The Timberwolves opened the game with Randle scoring a team-high 29 points, and the 23-year-old Edwards had 22 points and 12 assists, completing the 1,000-point milestone in his career playoffs, with only James, Tatum, Kobe, Parker and Durant reaching the target before the age of 24.

After the Warriors won the first game of the series but lost Curry, the game turned one-sided, and Warriors coach Kelr believes that the Timberwolves are a good team, and there is no point in discussing Curry's absence, and he does not want to belittle the other party's accomplishments. Timberwolves coach Finch said that Curry's failure to play is indeed the key, "This is a big loss for Golden State, and it is also for the entire series, if Curry can play, the game will definitely be different." ”

After the Warriors were out, they have not seen James, Curry and Durant in the division championship game for two consecutive seasons, and the NBA has shown a situation of young people. What's more coincidental is that these three people have been planted in the hands of Edwards in the playoffs in the past two years, and the Timberwolves swept the Durant-led Suns in the first round last season, and eliminated the Lakers and Warriors led by Zhan Huang in a row this season, showing the competitiveness of the new generation.
