Huazi burst! The Timberwolves swept the Warriors 4-1 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals!

In the second round of the NBA Western Conference playoffs, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 110:121 and were eliminated 1-4 in the series. This game is a life-and-death battle for the Warriors. If they cannot win, they will face the fate of being eliminated. At the beginning of the game, the Warriors' lineup was not complete because Curry was still absent due to injury, causing the team to lose a key scoring point. However, despite this, the Warriors still did not give up, and the other players on the team continued to devote themselves to the game, showing their determination and fighting spirit. Eventually, despite their all-out efforts, they failed to reverse the game and ended their playoff journey by 11 points. Although the players of the Warriors lacked Curry's support in the game, players such as Pojemsky, Hilder, Butler and Mengmeng Green performed well and won opportunities for the team many times. Podjemski showed excellent court awareness on the court and provided a stable output on the offensive end, especially in outside shooting, and he could still hold his feel despite facing the opponent's defensive pressure. Hilder's three-pointer threat has always existed, especially when the team needs to chase points, his three-pointer has become a bright business card for the Warriors. Butler also provided the team with a steady score, showing a tough defensive performance in the game, and despite this, he still failed to turn the situation around. Zhu Meng Green showed his usual hardness on the defensive end and created many opportunities for his teammates on the offensive end. Despite the highlights of these players, they still failed to fully compensate for the impact of Curry's absence.

Unlike the Warriors' struggle, the Timberwolves' overall performance is more balanced, and their multi-point blooming plays smoother. Players such as Edwards, Randle and Gobert performed well, leading the Timberwolves to stabilize the lead and formed a strong offensive momentum. As one of the core of the team, Edwards not only contributed greatly on the offensive end, but also played a crucial role on the defensive end. On the offensive end, Edwards restrained the Warriors' defense by breaking through, shooting and organizing the attack. Randall's performance in the interior is also very critical. With his tough physical fitness and efficient scoring ability, he puts tremendous pressure on the Warriors' defense. Gobert fully demonstrated his dominance on the defensive end, and repeated blocks and rebounding control laid the foundation for the Timberwolves' game. In the first half, the Warriors' performance was not ideal. They seemed slow on the offensive end, especially in outside shooting, and the team's offensive efficiency was not high. In addition, the Timberwolves' defense is also very tough, forcing the Warriors' offense to be blocked many times. In contrast, the Timberwolves' offense is more efficient, and the cooperation between Edwards and Randle allows them to continue to widen the gap. By the end of the first half, the Warriors were already 15 points behind, making their quest to chase points even more difficult. In the second half, the Warriors did not give up easily. They were still actively seeking opportunities to try to narrow the gap by strengthening defense and adjusting offensive strategies. Hilder and Podjemsky's several key three-pointers on the outside successfully gave the Warriors hope to chase points. Especially Podjemsky's several timely shots helped the Warriors stabilize the pace on the offensive end. However, the Timberwolves never allowed the Warriors to further narrow the score. The outstanding performances of Edwards and Gobert helped the Timberwolves stabilize the lead. Even though the Warriors counterattacked in the second half, the Timberwolves were still able to withstand the Warriors' pursuit through efficient offense and strict defense.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 121:110 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals, ending this round of the series. The Warriors were helplessly eliminated with a score of 1-4, ending their playoff journey. Although the Warriors tried their best without Curry, they finally failed to complete the counterattack in the face of the Timberwolves' overall advantage and unfortunately stopped.
