The Minnesota Timberwolves came into Game 4 knowing that they needed to take care of business if they wanted to go back home 3-1. The Warriors were still without Stephen Curry who could be available if there’s a potential Game 6.
The Timberwolves came out playing some of their best basketball on both sides of the ball tonight. Everything was started off with the play of Julius Randle who just took the bull by the horns in this one. Randle came out on fire and was making some incredible shots while getting to his spots. Every time the Warriors made a small run Randle was able to make a tough basket. Randle was able to put on a show finishing with 31 points on the evening. The Timberwolves were feeding off of Randle’s play and that type of synergy went right to Anthony Edwards.
Anthony Edwards got into a rhythm late 2nd quarter as he found his 3 point shot. Ant Man hit two 3 pointers including the one before the half that gave Minnesota momentum heading into the half. Anthony Edwards turned it up to another level in the 3rd quarter as he led a huge 3rd quarter attack. The Wolves outscored Golden State 39-14 in the quarter but Ant Man was unconscious from anywhere on the court he wanted. No one on the Warriors was able to slow him down as he continued his 3 point shooting and attacking the rim. Anthony Edwards has been lights out and the fact his teammates showed up with him just showed how special/deep this Timberwolves team can be. Ant Man finished with 30 on the night and put on a show in Golden State.
Huge shoutout to Rudy Gobert/Jaden McDaniels as both of them put on a defensive clinic tonight. Both made it tough for the Warriors to get anything inside or outside. Both the defensive specialist set the tone for the defense tonight and made sure that Minnesota was heading back 3-1 with the effort they showed tonight.
The Timberwolves couldn’t fully stop Jonathan Kuminga as he was the only Warriors player that got his offense going but it wasn’t enough at the end of the day. Kuminga finished with 23 points tonight as the Warriors are down 3-1 hoping that Stephen Curry can come back to make the series interesting before it’s over.
