Kurtenbach: Game 3 was the shorthanded Warriors’ best shot. Does this team have another surprise left in them?
- The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 102-97 on May 10, 2025, at Chase Center in Game 3 of their Western Conference series.
- The Warriors played without Stephen Curry due to a hamstring injury and lost defensive stability when Draymond Green fouled out late in the game.
- Despite showing signs of fatigue over 43 minutes, Jimmy Butler was Golden State’s top scorer with 33 points, while Jonathan Kuminga, who had recently been sidelined from the rotation, made a strong impact by adding 30 points in 36 minutes.
- The Warriors were unable to make any three-pointers in the first half, and after Draymond Green committed his sixth foul with just over four minutes remaining, Minnesota went on a 6-2 run to pull away in the closing minutes.
- Golden State must win Game 4 on May 12 to stay in the series and possibly await Curry’s return, though it is unlikely Butler and Kuminga can replicate their combined 63-point output.
