At the same level as the Lakers? Curry was injured, the Warriors suffered four consecutive losses, swept by the Timberwolves Gentleman

Under the condition of falling behind 1-3, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 110-121 away today. Like the Lakers in the first round, they were eliminated by the Timberwolves 1-4 in a big score and stopped in the semi-finals. Because Curry was injured and unable to play, the Warriors only won the first game in this round of the series, and then suffered four consecutive losses and were swept by the Timberwolves Gentleman. This is the first time that the Cole era has suffered four consecutive losses in the series, and it is also the second time that it has lost the series in the Western Conference. The first time is that it was the second round of the 22-23 season and was eliminated by the Lakers 4-2.

This is also the first time Curry lost a series in 6 games in his career, and was eliminated 4-2 before. However, Curry only played one game in this round of the series, and the Warriors also won this game. Although even if Curry remains healthy, the Warriors may not be able to defeat the Timberwolves, they will not be eliminated so easily.

In today's life-and-death battle, Pojemsky played 39 minutes, made 11 of 19 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 5 free throws, scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 interruptions, and 28 points also set a career high in the playoffs.

In the first half, Kumingga played for 16 minutes, made 5 of 10 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 11 points.

It is worth mentioning that Kumingga has won 20+ in three consecutive playoff substitutes, and is the third player in team history to do this after Curry and Poole in 2022. In the four games Curry missed, Kumingga performed well, averaging 24.3 points per game and shooting percentage of 55%, but it is difficult to win.
