G3 Cole basically opened all the trump cards!

G3 in the Western Conference Semi-finals of the NBA Playoffs, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 97-102 at home. Without Curry, the Warriors could hold the game to the final quarter, and the score difference was widened by the Timberwolves in the last few minutes, which was not easy for the Warriors. In this game, Kerr basically opened up all his trump cards, and there was no problem in implementing his ideas.

One is fighting for defense. Most of this game, the Timberwolves' role players did not complete the rampage. The restrictions on Edwards in the first half were very good, and even caused the Timberwolves to be powered off many times throughout the game, which also made the Warriors still suppress the situation. But without an inside line, their defense can only last for three quarters at most, which is already the limit, and they have done very well.

And Butler and Kumingga remained on the offensive end, and the effect was also good. Kumingga did not gain enough status in the last game, and scored 27 points in this game, which was an excellent output point for the Warriors. Butler even increased his offensive desire, scoring 33 points in the game, and they had already given full blood output. After the two of them played, the other players just waited for a three-pointer opportunity. The team made 9 of 21 three-pointers, and such a shooting percentage was not easy.

But there are not many places where G4 can adjust. One is Butler's physical fitness problem. He has to keep his physical fitness at a critical moment in the final quarter. During that period, butler could not score continuously and the role players could not support it, which eventually led to a loss. So how to allocate Butler's physical fitness in the first three quarters and whether the role players can give Butler some decompression is a big question.

At the same time, they should have to fight for a three-pointer. This game starts from the inside and attacks the inside, which is obviously a failure, and the whole team consumes a lot. So see if you can make a three-pointer in the next game, go to TJD, Rooney and Green to protect the rebound, and then other players shoot three-pointers. If the condition is good, you can widen the score difference and reduce Butler's consumption. These two adjustment points may be the key to the Warriors G4.
