On May 11, in the Warriors vs. Timberwolves, the two sides fell into a fight. Butler ushered in a super explosion, and the Warriors scored 6 three-pointers in a single quarter.

In the first half of this game, the Warriors' three-pointers were 0. The team failed to score a three-pointer in the half, which shows that they really want to have a strong inside kill with the Timberwolves and have a hand-to-hand battle. So in the first half, the Warriors scored 32 points in the inside, but only 5 shots from the outside, 0 of them were 5.

And in the third quarter, when the Wolves really started to want to hold and fall with them and fight for defense, the Warriors changed their style and started to shoot three-pointers. In this quarter, their outside three-pointers made 6 of 11 shots from the outside and regained their feelings. Hilder, Pojemsky, Butler and Kumingga all scored three-pointers from the outside.

Wolves relied on Edwards to compete with the Warriors with 15 points in a single quarter, but to be honest, his efficiency is indeed not high, and he only made 9 of 22 shots, which is why the Warriors were able to complete the score reversal in this quarter. Although Edwards completed a shocking dunk, and although he and Randall scored 20+ points, two of the Warriors stood up bravely.

One is Jimmy Butler, who made 11 of 19 shots and scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists after three quarters. The data is very terrible. It completely started the playoff killing mode, and it is almost 30 points in three quarters. Butler didn't play like this before. In addition, Kumingga scored 20 points and 5 rebounds on the bench. Both of them returned in form. In addition, a group of outside pitchers were fully fired, the Warriors were able to withstand Edwards' single-quarter impact and completed a miraculous reversal.

And their staffing configuration in this game is definitely not comparable to that of the Timberwolves, so they use more people and consume more physical strength to play against them. The Warriors directly used 10 players to rotate in this game, and the Wolves only used 8 people. If they play in the future, the physical fitness of the Golden State Warriors may be their advantage. First, I will fight with you to defend and bite the score. When you want to fight with me, I will switch to a three-point shooting from the outside. Cole's adjustment is really like a magical weapon, and the effect is so good. After three quarters, the team led the Timberwolves by 4 points at home 73:69. He really saw hope. Curry also applauded his teammates on the sidelines and showed a gratifying smile. After all, he wanted to return to the court more than anyone else. This is also why the Warriors can achieve an extreme counterattack. If this round of series can be delayed to Game 6 and Game 7 and can play so well without Curry, then when Curry returns, I believe the Warriors will have a chance.
