Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry will miss Game 5.
ESPN said on the 13th (Korea time) 'Warriors superstar Stephen Curry will miss Game 5. Curry told local media that he wants to be Superman, but he can't do that.
Golden State is on the brink.
Golden State lost 100-117 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference Playoff semifinals (best of seven) in the 2024-2025 season at Chase Center in San Francisco, California on the 13th (Korea time).
Golden State won Game 1, but eventually lost three in a row. In the second quarter of Game 1, Curry was ruled out of the lineup due to a hamstring injury.
The hamstring injury was ruled first-degree. Eventually, the injury will break out and be re-examined a week later. As a result of the close examination, it was concluded that he could participate in Game 6.
Golden State failed to fill Curry's void.
For Minnesota, Anthony Edwards (30 points) and Julius Randle (31 points) played a strong one-two punch.
Golden State was a close game until the third quarter. However, it soon hit its limits.
There was no shot creator other than Jimmy Butler, who ended up being blocked by Minnesota's strong defense. Curry's absence was a saving moment.
On the other hand, in Minnesota, Randall scored efficiently from inside and outside, and Edwards broke Golden State's defense with three consecutive points from outside.
In the end, he grabbed a 97-77 and 20-point lead. In fact, the winner or loser has been decided here. Golden State had a fiery chase at the end of the fourth quarter except for all the main players, but it was not enough.
In Golden State, Butler also struggled in Game 3, but failed to fill Curry's gap. He controlled Minnesota's firepower with a strong defense, but eventually lacked a fourth-quarter hindsight. Butler was under intense physical pressure and failed to score properly.
After the game, Draymond Green said 'Butler wasn't good today. Minnesota's defense controlled Butler well. He had to shoot, but the energy level wasn't good enough 'I'm to blame. We need to find a way to find a better position for him to score'
Coach Steve Kerr said 'Butler wasn't aggressive today. There were not many chances to attack. I think he will be very aggressive in Game 5."
