As the Warriors trailed the Timberwolves 1-3, the Celtics + Cavaliers also 1-3, and the first team out of the quarterfinals emerged

On May 13, the Warriors and the Timberwolves had their fourth showdown. The Warriors have lost two games in a row before and are overtaken by the Timberwolves. If they lose again in this game, the situation will be very unfavorable to them. As a result, after playing two good quarters, the Warriors lost 22 points in the third quarter, failed to reverse the fourth quarter, and lost to their opponent 110-117. As the Warriors trailed the Timberwolves 1-3, the Celtics + Cavaliers also 1-3, and the first team to be eliminated in the quarterfinals emerged.

The Warriors were defeated by the Timberwolves 17-39 in the third quarter, mainly because of the two Timberwolves' players. First of all, Edwards, who just passed half of the quarter made 5 of 6 and 3 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 14 points. Edwards is very confident, just let go of the shots. No matter who he faces, he has the confidence to throw the ball in and play his star value. In addition, French center Gobert, who is 2.16 meters tall, has both a height advantage in the inside and has long arms, making it difficult for Warriors players to score in the inside.

Edwards scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, Gobert scored 8 points and 6 rebounds, and Randall contributed 31 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Butler only made 9 shots, scoring 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, while Kuming added 23 points. The Warriors, Celtics and Cavaliers are currently 1-3 opponents and are facing desperate situations. Moreover, their leading stars Curry, Tatum and Mitchell are all injured, making it very difficult to reverse and advance.

3 1-3 teams, which team is probably the biggest team to be eliminated? Undoubtedly a Warrior. Because in Game 5 of the series, both the Celtics and the Cavaliers have home advantage. In the case of a back-to-back battle, coupled with the support of the fans on the scene, the Celtics and Cavaliers players should play very imposingly and swear to prove themselves in front of the home fans and continue to maintain hope of promotion. Also, don’t forget that the Cavaliers and Celtics are the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, and their overall strength is here. Even if they lack cores, there are still some players.

But the Warriors will go away against the Timberwolves in Game 5, and the difficulty of the game can be imagined. Moreover, the Warriors have lost three games in a row, and the team may be lost, but the Timberwolves are getting more and more excited. The Timberwolves were the runner-up in the Western Conference last season, eliminating the Lakers led by James and Doncic 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs this season. Edwards has grown into one of the league's facades, and it's so difficult for the Warriors to fight for the ammunition and food.

Curry's absence has a great impact on the Warriors. His three-point shooting, breakthrough layup and offensive restraint are the foundation of the Warriors' tactical foundation. Curry continues to be injured and does not know when he will come back. It is highly likely that the Warriors will be eliminated 1-4. As for the Celtics and the Cavaliers, they may be eliminated 2-4.
