May 9th, in the NBA playoff division semi-finals G2, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 93-117, and tied 1-1 with a big score. Cole was interviewed by the media after the game.

Speaking of using 14-man rotation in the first half, Cole said the game was designed to try to find tactical and lineup rotations that fit with Butler. The Warriors have formed a fixed system in the past few months, but in the absence of Curry, the framework must be rebuilt.

Cole used 14 players to rotate in the first half, and all the other players except the injured Curry played. According to ESPN data, this is the first time since statistics (1998), 14-man rotation in the first half of the playoffs has occurred.
