NBA playoffs: Warriors lives hang on the line 1-3! G5 life-and-death battle may become the end of the season, and Curry has little time to come back

On May 13, the NBA Western Conference Semi-Finals G4 came to an end at the Chase Center. The Golden State Warriors, who played at home, collapsed in the third quarter, lost 22 points in a single quarter, and finally lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 110-117. They fell behind 1-3 in the series and were on the verge of elimination.

Deadly third quarter: 17-0 attack wave determines the outcome

The two sides were evenly matched in the first half, and the Warriors led by 60-58 with the performance of Kumingga and Butler. However, after the change of sides, the situation on the field changed suddenly. The Timberwolves, led by Edwards, played a 17-0 offensive craze, and scored a huge 39-17 score in a single quarter, laying the final victory in one fell swoop.

"The third quarter was like a nightmare," Warriors coach Kerr admitted after the game, "Our defense completely collapsed, allowing the opponent to do whatever he wanted. "

Star performance: Kumingga shines hard to save the Lord

Kumingga became the Warriors' biggest highlight, with 6 of 13 shots in the game and scored the team's highest 23 points. But other players performed mediocrely.

Butler scored 14 points and 6 rebounds (down 19 points from G3)

Dream Chasing Green scored 14 points and 7 rebounds

Hilder scored 13 points and 4 rebounds

Timberwolves, Edwards continued his hot form and contributed a comprehensive data of 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The inside core Randle also scored 21 points and 8 rebounds.

Historical Curse: 95% promotion rate is upside down

Data shows that the probability of a team behind 1-3 in NBA history is only 5% (13 wins and 280 losses). What's even more serious is that the Warriors core Curry will have to return to the G6 at the earliest, and the G5 series will start in two days.

"Now is not the time to consider Stephen," said Dream Green, "We must win the G5 first to have a chance to wait for him to come back. "

Schedule Outlook: The fifth round of the two sides will be held in Minnesota on May 15. If the Warriors want to continue the series, they must solve the following problems:

Habitual collapse in the third quarter (9.3 points per game per game in this round of series)

substitute scored weakly (25-39 trailing in this game)

three-point shooting percentage is sluggish (31.4% in this game)

technical statistics highlights
