The Minnesota Timberwolves are up 3-1 entering a Game 5 Western Conference semifinals matchup with the Golden State Warriors.

Superman isn’t busting through that wall and saving the Golden State Warriors. With guard Stephen Curry set to miss Game 5 on Wednesday against the Timberwolves, the Warriors’ backs are against and the wall and it appears that their world is falling after losing three straight games in this second-round series.

Jonathan Kuminga did one thing in particular to push Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr over the edge.

The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves play Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals in the NBA Playoffs Wednesday at Target Center.

In nearly 1,000 possessions prior to the playoffs, Golden State had a plus-12.8 net rating when Butler was on the floor without Curry. In those same non-Curry minutes, Butler averaged 24.9 points and 7.6 assists per 75 possessions, with a 63.7 true shooting percentage.

The Warriors, who have won four NBA titles since 2015, are on the brink of elimination as they head into a crucial Game 5 on the road against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Trailing in the best-of-seven series, Golden State needs a win to stay alive.

Jimmy Butler III attempted just nine shots and finished with 14 points in the Warriors’ 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Stephen Curry missed his third game with a strained hamstring. He is not expected to play in Game 5 on Wednesday.
