The G3 Warriors post-match review against the Timberwolves, who is the culprit in the Warriors loss?

In the NBA Western Conference semi-finals, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 97-102 at home, and the total score of the series was rewritten to be 1-2 behind. Curry missed this game, and the Warriors' system problems were fully exposed, becoming a key factor in their poor performance today.

Huazi performed well in the whole game, scoring 36 points, including 13 points in the final quarter. The three-pointers and throwing shots at critical moments were like a stroke of magic, locking the victory for the Timberwolves, showing his superstar-like finishing ability. His breakthrough was like entering a no-man's realm, directly tearing the Warriors' defense, forcing Cole to adopt a pinch-attack tactic, but it also revealed the flaws on the outside. Randall became the core of the Timberwolves, contributing 24 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists throughout the game, which was his first triple-double in his playoff career. Randall completely revitalized the entire team through tough basket confrontation and precise passes, completely suppressing the Warriors' Dream Chasing Green, and became the key to the Timberwolves' offensive and defensive transformation.

Butler scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game, but his physical fitness declined in the last quarter and all four shots missed. Coach Cole admitted after the game that Butler's physical fitness allocation needs to be optimized. Under high-intensity defense, Butler's singles efficiency is difficult to maintain. The Warriors' Kumingga made 11 of 18 shots, scoring 30 points and 6 rebounds, showing his hard-working ability in the chaos. However, he relies too much on personal attacks and does not limit Edwards on the defensive end. The Warriors' offensive end was completely silent. Green, Pojemsky, Payton Jr. and Moody made only 4 of 22 shots, and only 1 of 15 three-pointers. Zhu Meng Green's five mistakes directly ruined the advantage of the final quarter. On the bench, except for Kumingga, the Warriors only scored 20 points, far lower than the Timberwolves' 38 points. The Warriors were forced to empty three-pointers Randle, who shot just 31.4%, but other Timberwolves role players such as Conley and McDaniels seized the opportunity to hit the key goal. In the end, the Warriors shot only 28% from three-pointers and made only 7 of 25 shots.

After Green left the court with 6 fouls, the Warriors' inside defense completely collapsed. Gobert killed the game directly with fast break dunks and free throws in the final quarter. The Warriors' pass-cut system lost its direction without Curry attracting double-teaming "Ku has gravity" after he lost his ball cover and open shots. Although Hilde scored 14 points, his efficiency declined after encountering Curry-level defensive treatment. The Warriors only sent 18 assists in the game. Coach Cole tried to use 14-man rotation to activate substitutes, but young players such as Moody and Pojemsky did not reach the intensity of the playoffs on both offense and defense. Green's organizational mistakes rate reached 5 times, which also exposed the problem of the Warriors' failure in the operation of the pass and cut system.
