Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Full Highlights 3rd Qtr | May 12|2025 NBA Highlights

the new uh Golden State WNBA team its home opener. So that pushed game six back, but could benefit now the Warriors could Steph Curry could return for that game six on Sunday. You think what’s at stake over the next 24 minutes really for Golden State more so uh you go home to Minnesota, go back to Minnesota with a chance to get closed out if you lose this game. Instead, you extend it and get Curry back. PJsky 24 second violation to start the half. Pajki now. Warriors sticking with that zone. Edwards with a timer at 10. Connley puts up a three and it’s no good. Rebounded by Draymond Green. Those are the shots that Steve Kerr wants to force with this defense. Three-pointers from Connley to kill Alexander Walker when he’s in the game and Dvachenzo as well. They’ll live with those. Jackson Davis, nice pass to Majki was much tonight at all as Rudy Goar who had a big factor in game three with his rebounding, his rim protection. He has not really gotten involved in this game at all. The zone has bottled him up a little bit, but Warriors doing a nice job keeping him off the glass. Randall for three. It’s good. Julius Randle with his fourth three. He’s got 22. Draymond Green very productive first half. Beautiful shot by Green on the reverse layup. Up to 10 points and six rebounds now to go with two assists. Green fouled out in crunch time. Part of the reason why the Warriors lost game three. The defense just wasn’t as good when he went out of the game. Edwards on the drive. Kicks it out to Connley. Shot clock down to three. Connley missed the tear drop. kept alive though by Goar and Connley. Edwards got the three. Well, he loves going left for that shot when you go for that up fake on the first attempt. He’s almost always going to go left, get into that rhythm dribble, and he is just lethal. First points of the second half. He’s got 66 points in the second half in this series in three plus games. Fajki in the lane. Missed the shot. The put back though by Trace Jackson Davis. Any type of penetration could create offensive rebounding opportunities because you’re going to get movement out of Goar and he’s going to reoccupy against the penetration and that time Jackson Davis was right there behind get the put back. They have seven more offensive rebounds than Minnesota in this game. The Wolves a much bigger team. Edwards on the step back as Draymond Green falls into his bench. Go with the offensive rebound. Green running the point, getting it into the fourourt quickly. Pajk into the lane. Try to draw the foul on Randall. Bounces to Butler. Three for five from the floor. Seven points for Butler. Draymond Green way off on the three. Did make two in the first half. Minnesota looking to retake the is just four for 13 from three-point range. Anthony Edwards has five of Minnesota’s last six baskets, including a 30-footer at the buzzer to end the first half. Drives on heel, swing to Randall, jab, and fire. Randle’s three, no good. Rebound Butler. By the way, Butler hasn’t scored or even taken a shot since the midway point of the second quarter, but he scores there. Nine points and ties the game. And I like the fact that he advanced the ball off the dribble. Got a brush screen near half court to give him some freedom to attack. Rudy Goar was not willing to come out and challenge that. It’s an easy 15-footer for Butler. Edwards feet hit the floor and it’s a still just a shooting foul. Two free throws rather than an and one as an offensive foul. A late cell as well. Empty possession though for Minnesota. Three-point Wolves lead. Butler driving goes underneath Goar and Goar stood his ground didn’t foul him. Numbers for the Wolves. Randall takes to the corner. Connley and Mike Connley’s three pushes the lead to six. That’s a big turn right there. I think Jimmy Butler took the ball too deep. He had the same shot he just hit. A little pull up 12-footer. Decided to challenge Goar. Great defense by Goar blocking Kaminga. Offensive rebound now 13 of 26 from three. They’ve made eight more threes than the Warriors. That’s the difference in the game. Randall throws it into the bench to his right to shoot those back lean backs. He’s not very comfortable that time. Throws the ball into the first row. Green likely will be named NBA all defense for the ninth time in his career. His third defensive player of the year honors. Shot clock down to four. Minnesota on a 10-2 run. Kaminga again. Excellent defense from Rudy Goar, the four-time defensive player of the year. Edwards tries another three. Edwards switches that one home, rips the net on a triple. He’s got 25. That’s his fifth three. You can feel he’s sensing right now the moment for Minnesota and what it would mean to get out of here with a wind. He’s starting to take over this game. Golden State not staying connected enough on the perimeter. He’s got 11 in the quarter. He’s owned the second half in this series. Butler gets deep, spinning, missing. Rebound. McDaniels. Ball in the hands of Edwards again. Edwards for three. Of course, Anthony Edward. Thanks to Edwards, they’ve opened up a 12-point lead. He has more threes, six, than the Warriors have as a team. Five. And the Warriors offense is really hurting them as much as anything right now. They just have eight points through the first seven minutes of this quarter. Kaminga missed the three. And at what point does Jimmy Butler say, “I have to take over. I have to be the one to look to score.” Now, you’re asking my opinion on it. And they’ve got to treat this like almost like a game seven to try to get this back even extend the series. You know that they’re hoping that Steph Curry makes an appearance at some point. Edwards brick that one. Shot clock violation. It did not hit the rim. 14 points. That’s a problem if he’s not getting to the free throw line. Dominga in the corner. 16 first half points for him. Hasn’t scored yet here in the third. But really nobody has for the Warriors. Shot clock down to four. Great defense. Edwards pokes it away. Randall and Edwards have combined for 50 points. Steven Chenzo got another three, the 16th of the game for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Again, the turnovers leading to offense for Minnesota. Kaminga too loose with that handle. Anthony pokes it away. Another offensive foul. Here’s Edwards. Stops at the free throw line and scores again. 30 points for Anthony Edwards. 17 straight for Minnesota. And without Steph Curry, do the Warriors have enough firepower to come back. A foul here on Edwards. Just the second. He needs something to stop his bleeding. They don’t get it though. He’ll miss the three. Edwards is outscoring the Warriors 18-6 or 18, excuse me, 16 to8 here in the quarter. But a turnover by Edwards. Interception from Kajki. Kaminga downhill gets the layup and that stops the bleeding for now ending a 17- nothing run. Three-minute mark 15 way got a hot handle with a 15-point lead. You figure you can close out the quarter well over the last 240 and not risk you know something where Anthony Edwards potentially misses you know half of a quarter because of Foucho. He missed half of the second quarter of game two due to an ankle injury, but
