May 14th news, in the 4th game of the 2024 NBA Western Conference semifinals, the Minnesota Timberwolves once again demonstrated their resilience and firepower, reversing 117-110 away from home to defeat the Golden State Warriors who were missing Stephen Curry, extending the series score to 3-1, and only one win away from reaching the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year.

In this game, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards continued his hot hand and scored 30 points in the whole game. He scored over 30 points for the second consecutive game and became the team's most stable scoring source. Especially in the third quarter, Edwards led a wave of offensive climax that determined the trend of the game . In just a few minutes, he hit three-pointers in succession and scored 11 points alone, leading the team to a 17-0 offensive, opening the score to 85-68 , laying the foundation for the final victory. Edwards scored 16 points in this quarter and played a key role again.

In addition to Edwards' outstanding performance, Randle also performed brilliantly in this game, scoring a game-high 31 points and playing an important role in both offense and defense in the penalty area. McDaniels contributed 10 points and 13 rebounds, running all over the court and actively fighting for the ball, becoming a stable defensive pillar of the team.

On the other hand, the Warriors were hit more and more by the loss of core point guard Curry. Although the head coach tried to make tactical adjustments, the offense was not smooth enough. The team only made 8 of 27 three-pointers , with a hit rate of only 29.6% . Kuminga, who came off the bench, performed well, scoring 23 points and making 12 of 11 free throws, but he still couldn't turn the situation around at the critical moment. Veteran Butler and Draymond Green contributed 14 points respectively, and Hield also added 13 points, but the Warriors lacked a stable organizational core and explosive point, and ultimately failed.

The series is currently tied at 3-1 , and the Timberwolves have absolute initiative and will return to their home court on Wednesday for Game 5. If they can continue their hot form in this game, they are expected to end the series at home and advance to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year. The Warriors have been pushed to the edge of the cliff. If they cannot win back in Game 5, their journey this season may come to an abrupt end.

It is worth mentioning that Warriors core Stephen Curry's left hamstring injury will be re-evaluated on Wednesday, and he may not return until Game 6 at the earliest. Therefore, Game 5 is not only the key to the Warriors' continued hope, but also the last game of this dynasty team this season.
