The Wolves played like they really wanted it, and it showed on the court. Meanwhile, the Warriors just looked off, like they didn’t have their usual spark. For Timberwolves fans, this win is huge. For Warriors fans, well, it’s probably a bit painful to watch.

Warriors Struggled Without Curry, and It Hurt Big Time

Let’s be real — the Warriors missed Stephen Curry badly. He hurt his hamstring in the first game and didn’t come back after that. He tried some light workouts, but doctors didn’t clear him for this last game. Without Curry, the Warriors looked lost. Their passing slowed, shots felt rushed, and the energy was missing. It’s like the team didn’t know how to find their rhythm. On the other side, the Timberwolves just kept rolling, confident and sharp.

Minnesota isn’t just lucky here — they’re going to the Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row, and that says a lot. They’re playing smart, focused basketball and really believe they can win big. As for the Warriors, this season ended way earlier than expected, and they’ve got some tough stuff to figure out. Can Curry stay healthy? Should the team change the roster? What needs to happen for them to bounce back? It’s a lot to think about, and next season will be interesting for sure.
