4 fouls on Draymond now. He was inserted into the game as a defensive replacement to end the 3rd and immediately took the foul to give for his 3rd foul. – 12:33 AM

Warriors had to survive in this series without Curry on the defensive end. The Timberwolves just put up 70 combined points in the second/third quarters. They have 97 with 12 minutes left. Up 20 and nearing commanding 3-1 series lead. – 12:20 AM

Draymond has been pushing the ball up like it’s 2016 and it’s been really effective. One of the biggest declines in his game as he’s gotten older. – 11:26 PM

Draymond Green just went one by one to all three officials after that non-flagrant call on McDaniels. Not hard to guess his message. – 11:20 PM

In Game 3, Draymond Green was guarding Julius Randle — and roaming off him to provide help. And Trayce Jackson-Davis was on Rudy Gobert.
Those matchups are flipped this game — with Green providing his help while roaming off of Gobert. – 10:31 PM

Heading into Game 4 Monday, Minnesota wants to win this West semifinals ASAP. Golden State wants it to linger until Steph Curry (maybe) returns.
Four things to watch, including Draymond Green getting back on the stage and Jaden McDaniels as the “X” factor. nba.com/news/timberwol… – 10:23 AM

David Adelman on Nikola Jokic shooting 0-of-10 from 3 in G3:
“If Steph Curry shot 2-of-13, would you guys be asking me about it?”
Adelman says he liked the looks Jokic got early and that the shot looked good. Says he hopes Jokic shoots another 10 threes. – 1:48 PM

Steph Curry went through a court workout and rode the bike pregame yesterday. It wasn’t full speed, but it was an initial step in his attempted return.
The clock is ticking.

Fourteen turnovers and only 23 attempted 3s for the Warriors. Difficult formula offensively without Steph Curry. They were in it most of the night, got 63 pts from Butler/Kuminga, but lost the fourth quarter 33-24 and have now lost control of the series. It’s 2-1 Timberwolves. – 11:23 PM

Legler needed to stop jabbering about the absence of Curry and focus on a foul by Green… a quick, no-nonsense call for an elbow. A crackdown whistle that demanded accentuation. Instead, nothing!! – 9:37 PM

QUINN COOK: I think (Stephen Curry) is the greatest point guard of all time. I might be biased, but just to have somebody like that believe in me — it means a lot. HOST: Why do you think he’s the greatest? QUINN COOK: I only go off what I saw. Not YouTube. Not NBA Hardwood Classics. No disrespect to Magic — I just didn’t see Magic on a nightly basis. I didn’t live through it. I used to wake up, go to school, and be like, “Man, I can’t wait for the game tonight.” Steph’s the best point guard I ever saw. Other greats I saw? Chris Paul. Jason Kidd. But Steph? He changed the game. He changed the NBA. -via YouTube / May 12, 2025
