Timberwolves are again in the West Finals! Minnesota’s team prevailed with 121-110 Golden State Warriors in Game 5 and “sealed” the qualification for a second consecutive year.
Julius Radl was again excellent, scoring 29 points with 13/18 shots, while Anthony Edwards finished the match with 22 points and 12 assists.

Despite the good performance of Brandin Podziemski, who scored 28 points and Jonathan Kuminga who added 26, the Warriors again bent over from the absence of Stef Curry, who did not fight due to injury to the biceps. Jimmy Butler stayed at 17 points, while Bandy Hilde failed to provide the necessary solutions.
The Warriors’ defense proved clearly more demanding than the series against the Lakers, but Minnesota imposed its pace. Rudy Gobert dominated the basket with 17 points, Mike Konley had 16 points and 8 assists, while Dividsenzo broke off aggressively with 13 points.
The “wolf” is impressive through the racket (77% to 36/47 two -pointers), while their energy and passion predicted the result early. A three -pointer by Edwards in the middle of the fourth period disrupted the Warriors’ hopes, which reduced to 9, but did not actually threaten again.

Minnesota, who started as a sixth favorite in the West, is now waiting for Nuggets -Thunder winner to find out her next opponent.
If there is a game 7, the Timberwolves will have up to five days of rest, which can prove to be decisive in view of continuity.
