In a decisive Game 5, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 121-110, advancing in the playoffs for the second consecutive year. The Warriors struggled offensively, shooting under 40% and lacking their star Stephen Curry due to injury, which highlighted their diminished prowess compared to their previous dominance in the league. The Timberwolves showcased impressive shooting and solid defense, effectively capitalizing on the Warriors’ vulnerabilities, and paying homage to the legacy of Golden State basketball, as noted by Timberwolves coach Chris Finch.
