The Timberwolves overpowered the Stephen Curry-deprived Warriors 117-110 and can now close out the Western Conference semifinals come Game 5 in Minneapolis
It was yet again a tale of two halves for both the Timberwolves and their electric superstar Anthony Edwards in game 4. The three-time All-Star got off to another slow start in the first half, scoring 14 points in the first half before exploding in the 3rd quarter.
It wasn't necessarily pretty, but the Minnesota Timberwolves grinded out a 102-97 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinals series on Saturday night. Once again, Julius Randle put together a massive game for the Timberwolves, and he ended up joining some exclusive Kevin Garnett company in the process.
Whether Kuminga was driving for dunks, making tough layups or burying 3-pointers, the Wolves had no answer for the fourth-year forward who said his ankle is starting to feel healthy. The injury caused Kuminga to miss 31 games in the middle of the season.
In a historic moment for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Julius Randle etched his name into the franchise's legacy by recording the first playoff triple-double since Kevin Garnett. This remarkable achievement not only highlights Randle's exceptional performance but also underscores the growing significance of his role within the team.
The Timberwolves can close out the Western Conference semifinal series at home on Wednesday with the Warriors' Stephen Curry probably still sidelined.
