Timberwolves Beat Warriors Without Curry—And Take Total Control!

The Golden State Warriors are on the ropes, and the Minnesota Timberwolves are roaring toward a spot in the Western Conference Finals!

With Steph Curry sidelined for a third straight game, the Warriors fell 117-110 in a tense Game 4 showdown at Chase Center. And now? The Timberwolves lead the series 3-1 and have a chance to close things out at home on Wednesday night.


Anthony Edwards Is UNSTOPPABLE!

Once again, the night belonged to Anthony “Ant-Man” Edwards.

Coming off a 36-point explosion in Game 3, Edwards torched the Warriors for another 30-point performance, dazzling the crowd with deep threes, drives to the rim, and his usual fearless energy.

He hit back-to-back 3s and scored 11 straight points during a wild 17-0 third-quarter run that completely flipped the game.

Oh—and did we mention the 30-foot bomb at the halftime buzzer?

Edwards isn’t just rising—he’s taking over this series.


Julius Randle DOMINATES in the Paint

Julius Randle played like a man possessed.

With 31 points, a physical inside presence, and clutch buckets when it mattered most, Randle helped keep the Warriors at bay whenever they tried to rally.

He’s proving to be the perfect complement to Edwards in this Wolves playoff run—and he’s just heating up.


Warriors Struggle AGAIN Without Steph Curry

Golden State fans are worried, and they should be.

Without their floor general, leader, and shooter-in-chief, the Warriors are clearly out of rhythm. Curry’s hamstring injury kept him out for a third straight game, and the offense just can’t find its flow.

  • Only 8 made 3s on 27 attempts
  • Sloppy ball movement
  • Poor shot selection late

Yes, Jonathan Kuminga was solid again with 23 points and 11-of-12 from the free throw line, but that wasn’t enough.

The Steph-sized hole is just too big.


Warriors Lineup Shuffle Comes Up Short

Coach Steve Kerr tried everything:

  • Starting Trayce Jackson-Davis for size
  • Bringing Kuminga off the bench
  • Relying on Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green to carry the load

But nothing clicked consistently. The Warriors were slow out of the gate, and when Minnesota pulled ahead in the third quarter, they simply couldn’t recover.

Buddy Hield added 13 points but got into a scuffle that took him off rhythm.

And Golden State’s signature 3-point flurries? They never came.


Timberwolves Defense Gets It Done

Coach Chris Finch deserves serious credit. With Curry out, Finch focused his defensive game plan on shutting down the perimeter.

The result?

  • Warriors made just 8-of-27 from deep
  • Ball movement stalled
  • No spacing, no splash

The Timberwolves’ defense kept pressure high, hands active, and lanes clogged. It was textbook playoff basketball—and it’s why they’re now up 3-1.


The 17-0 Run That Broke the Game

The turning point? A third-quarter avalanche.

Edwards hit a pair of 3s. Randle attacked the rim. The defense turned turnovers into transition dunks.

Suddenly, the Warriors went from tied at 68 to down 85-68 in a blink.

The crowd sat in stunned silence as the game unraveled.

Minnesota took a 97-77 lead into the fourth, and even though the Warriors fought back late, they never got closer than 7.


Curry’s Status: What We Know

Steph Curry is set to be re-evaluated on Wednesday, but insiders say the team isn’t optimistic about a Game 5 return.

If everything goes perfectly, the earliest Curry might play is Game 6 back in San Francisco on Sunday.

That is, if there is a Game 6.

“We miss him. That’s obvious,” said Kerr postgame. “But no excuses. We’ve got to find a way.”


Game 5: Can the Timberwolves Finish the Job?

Now, Minnesota heads home with the chance to close out the series in front of their raucous fans at Target Center.

Game 5 Details:

  • Minneapolis
  • Wednesday Night
  • National TV
  • Already sold out

If they win, it’ll be the Timberwolves’ first trip to the Western Conference Finals in 20 years.

If they lose, they’ll have to head back to San Francisco for a Game 6—and maybe a Curry return.

But right now? All the momentum is in Minnesota’s corner.


What If the Warriors Lose?

The Warriors’ dynasty isn’t over… yet. But if they fall in Round 2 without their leader, the offseason questions will be loud.

  • Is the core still championship-caliber?
  • Can Curry stay healthy?
  • What about Klay Thompson’s future?
  • Do they need to blow it up and rebuild?

This loss would sting—especially after clawing through the Play-In just to make the playoffs.


Around the League: Injuries Changing Everything

Curry’s not alone. Jayson Tatum went down with a scary leg injury for Boston in their Game 4 loss to the Knicks.

Superstars are dropping like flies, and it’s changing the shape of the playoffs fast.

  • Warriors trail 3-1 without Curry
  • Celtics trail 3-1, possibly without Tatum
  • Knicks and Wolves are now favorites to reach the Finals

It’s a wild postseason—and we’re just getting started.


Timberwolves Beat Warriors Without Curry and Take Command

The Warriors are in trouble.
The Timberwolves are on fire.
And the series might be over Wednesday night.

With Curry sidelined and Edwards soaring, the Wolves are just one win away from the biggest moment in franchise history.

And if the Warriors lose?

It could be the end of an era.
