With the win, the Timberwolves win the round and advance to the Conference Finals. They will face either the Oklahoma City Thunder or Denver Nuggets, depending on whoever wins that series. They’ve beaten LeBron and the Lakers, and now, the Warriors. Minnesota will face a greater challenge no matter who comes next. But they’ve more than proven themselves capable of advancing to the NBA Finals.
Meanwhile, the Warriors’ season comes to an end. After surviving the Play-In and defeating the Rockets in the First Round, there was reason to believe Golden State could pull it off. But since Curry’s injury, the team just doesn’t have the star power to keep up with the league’s best teams. Curry, Green, and Butler are all 35+ years old. The team must soon look to the future and find new stars to hunt for success with.
