The Golden State Warriors are in a tough situation with their backs against the wall, facing elimination against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals. After last night’s 117-110 loss, the Warriors find themselves down 3-1 in the series.
Golden State will play a potentially decisive Game 5 on the road at the Target Center tomorrow night, and could be in major trouble without its star point guard, Stephen Curry. The two-time MVP suffered a hamstring injury in Game 1 and exited after appearing in just 13 minutes of action. The Warriors managed to win the series opener, but have now lost three straight.

However, some have optimism. The Warriors aren’t eliminated yet, and one win could change the momentum of the entire series.
“Knew this was the case but still we just gotta win game 5 man,” another said.
The last time a team came back down 3-1 in a playoff series was in the 2020 Western Conference Semifinals, when the Denver Nuggets overcame the deficit to defeat the LA Clippers. A successful has only been done 13 times in league history.
