The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the brink of advancing to the Western Conference Finals after defeating the Golden State Warriors 117–110 in Game 4, taking a commanding 3–1 lead in the series. The victory was fueled by standout performances from Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards, who combined for 61 points.
Randle led the team with 31 points, while Edwards contributed 30 points, including 11 during a pivotal 17–0 run in the third quarter that shifted the game’s momentum. This surge turned a two-point halftime deficit into a 20-point lead entering the fourth quarter.
The Warriors, playing without injured star Stephen Curry for the third consecutive game, struggled to keep pace. Jonathan Kuminga stepped up with 23 points off the bench, but the team faltered in the third quarter, being outscored 39–17—a historically poor performance for the franchise in playoff home games.
Minnesota’s defense was instrumental in the win, with Jaden McDaniels recording 13 rebounds and Rudy Gobert anchoring the interior. The Timberwolves also outshot the Warriors from beyond the arc, converting 47.1% of their three-point attempts compared to Golden State’s 29.6%.
Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday night in Minneapolis, where the Timberwolves will have an opportunity to clinch the series and advance to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year.
