Warriors give it their all! But, alas!

After losing Game 2, Jimmy Butler said:

"I'm going to play the right way and I've got the ability to score 40 points, but only if I make sure my teammates are playing the right basketball and I'm going to score 40 points if I have to."

Then, today G3.

If you only watch the first 40 minutes of the game, you will sigh: JB is a tough person, he really doesn't brag!

However, when the game is over, you may say:"Butler, if you score 40 points, the Warriors win!"

The Warriors lost by 5 points, and Butler was 7 points adrift...

The game in the NBA, not FIBA, is made up of 48 minutes.

The Warriors lost 97-102 to the Timberwolves and lost the first home of the series.

Edwards had 36 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Randle had 24 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals, Madan had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, and Gobert had 9 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Butler 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Kuminga 30 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Hield 14 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Davis 7 points and 2 boards, Podzemski 5 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Looney 4 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Green 2 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

If it were to be summed up in one sentence, it would be as the title says:The warriors gave everything they had, but it was a pity.

Losing this kind of game, if you scold Kerr and the Warriors players, it doesn't make any sense.

As head coach, Kerr has made all the adjustments he should have made.

If the second one was an experiment, it was also applied to actual combat today.

The two key points I wrote about the Warriors winning, Butler and Kuminga's reuse, are also true.

But as it turned out, this was not enough ...

Really have to let JB do 40 points against the Timberwolves' defense? It's brutal.

He didn't score in the last minutes of the fourth quarter, which was a sign of a decline in fitness.

Jimmy is already okay, with a hip contusion, all the way from the Rockets, grabbing seven to Adams doesn't have any sense of presence, and this has to be without Curry, continuous hand-to-hand combat with the Timberwolves, and the physical fitness is about the same.

Even if there is steel and iron bones, it will have to be burned out.

Another important player, Kuminga.

Although he made a mistake at the last moment, he is a player who has been DNP, and he can adjust his mentality and be able to score 30 points.

With Curry here, there are too many tactics to play, he really can't remember, Curry is not there, just do it inside.

For himself, even if he is no longer with the Warriors next season and does not get a contract extension, Kuminga proved something more or less in today's game.

It's also a fight for money.

As for not being able to help the team win, you can't treat Kuminga as Curry, he's not at that level...

For the Warriors, if they want to beat their opponents, under the premise that Butler and Kuminga play at the same time, I am afraid that players like Podemski will have to make outstanding contributions.

Today 1 out of 10 Bowl Chicken... Although it was positive, it didn't open up on the offensive end.

The Warriors made 0-of-5 three-pointers in the half and didn't score a three-pointer in a playoff half for the first time since the first round against the Mavericks in 2007.

It was still a half-time lead, which was chiseled out by Butler and Kuminga.

Finally, for the winning Timberwolves.

They are the better physical team, and the rebounding advantage is even more pronounced after the Dream Green is fouled and left the game.

One more word:Chasing dreams is an important watershed in this game.

Huazi's key three-pointer that almost killed the game was the second offensive score.

When Looney went out, it was Gobert vs Hield who was scrambling for rebounds under the basket, which was too big.

The Timberwolves' offense isn't advanced, but their physical ability is really outstanding.

Attack, with Huazi and Randle, in the face of Wukuyong, it seems that it is enough.

Huazi scored 28 points in the second half, which is really a big fire to collect the juice.

He showed an improvement in his ball-handling ability in this year's playoffs.

The most outrageous thing is Randall's performance.

A player who previously gave the impression of being five big and three thick, today 24 + 10 + 12, triple double, facing two major traffic teams in this year's playoffs, played a high value.

A body as strong as an ox, and he made the Warriors' defenders lose their temper...

That scene is familiar to Lakers fans.
