The Warriors still lose until they have no ammunition and food! The new Kuba combination scored 63 points in vain, and Luni was rushing to chase dreams and left the court with 6 fouls

On May 11, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's Western Conference semi-finals, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 97-102 at home, and fell 1-2 behind in the series. The Warriors quickly fell into a passive position since the start of today, and Butler led the team to quickly clear the gap. After entering the second quarter, the Warriors stabilized the situation and completed a takeover, and then Butler and Kumingga led the team to establish a slight lead in the third quarter. In the final quarter, the Warriors were 7-0 by the Timberwolves, and then they were forced to leave after 6 fouls. The Warriors then failed to continue catching up with the score and eventually lost at home.

In the absence of Curry, the Warriors had two people almost led the team to win today, and they were the "new Kuba" combination. Kumingga continued to gain trust today. He played for 36 minutes, made 11 of 18 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring a total of 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, 30 points set a career playoff high, and

Butler's performance was even better. In the whole game, Butler played for a total of 43 minutes, making 12 of 25 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers and 7 of 9 free throws, scoring a total of 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and 4 mistakes were made at the same time. Butler's performance was excellent enough for most of the game, but he was 35 years old after all. He failed to match the opponent's Edwards' energy in the final quarter, and only made 1 of 7 shots in the final quarter.

For the Warriors, today's loss was very regrettable. They once saw hope of winning in the final quarter, but with less than 5 minutes left before the end of the game, Zhu Meng died and committed 6 offenses, which caused great trouble to the team. Then Looney also left the court with all the crimes. Kerr decisively changed the team today and brought Davis to the start. He scored 7 points and 2 rebounds today, but another starter, Podjemsky, only made 1 of 10 shots and scored 5 points and 8 rebounds.

According to the schedule, the Warriors will continue to play against the Timberwolves at home on May 13. Can they equalize the overall score? Let's wait and see!
