He goes up. Minnesota will start with possession. The Timberwolves beat the Lakers in five games in the first round and have a 2-1 series lead here in San Francisco. Great hands by Green to get the deflection. Edwards keeps possession though. Edwards on the ball fake. We’ll try a three in and out to start the game. Rebound Green. He had just two rebounds. Fouled out. Draymond did with five minutes to go in the loss the other night. Good start for him with the first points of the game. Great start defensively as well. Gets the deflection. They’ve got him on Rudy Goar primarily so he can roam more defensively, but that’s a nice start for him offensively being aggressive up the floor. Matching his total from last game. He had five turnovers in that game three loss. Here’s Butler on the cut and he missed the layup, but a foul. But he’s going to have to step up as a scorer in addition to all the other things he does tonight to help them win. Butler missed the second free throw play 43 minutes. Steve Ker said he he was exhausted at the end of the game. One of the reasons why he struggled offensively in the final eight minutes. Randle missed the turnaround. Green another rebound. They want Green to really handle the ball a lot tonight. Kind of like a point forward. They need to get up and down the court. says Kirk. Pajki puts it up and in. Pajki just one basket the other night. Well, the two guys we mentioned at the start have to get offensive contributions from your starters. Randall drills a three. Julius Randall averaging 23 points per game in the playoffs. Green goes right at the chest of Randall. Randle year 11. Spent the last five years with the Knicks. Missed the playoffs last year due to injury, but he has more than made up for it. He’s got all five here for Minnesota. And they’ve had a difficult time with Julius Randle. Anytime he gets a switch with a smaller defender, he is just putting that shoulder down and getting to the rim. He’s a great passer as well, which we saw Anthony Edwards hit the dagger three in that game three win. And it was Randall with a terrific drive and kick. Buddy Heel fouled on the drive. Heel did not score in the first half. the higher priority and I think in general the way they’re going to make Jimmy Butler play in the crowd. [Applause] Edwards splits the defenders, got fouled. Game three had his ninth career 35point game. That’s the second most by a player 23 years of age or younger in NBA history. Luca Donuch is number one. Deielded immediately doubled. Shot clock down to two. Butler sees it. Hoist the three. Way off the mark and out of bounds. Clock and Jimmy Butler was forced to take a three at the end of the clock. Healed. Shot clock down to five. Finds Butler through the lane. Hand off. Jackson Davis and Goar great defense. The three ball won’t go from heel as the buzzer sounds. Go Bear terrific defensively, especially in the fourth quarter of game three. The Warriors were 0 for seven from the floor with Goar the nearest defender in that final [Applause] frame. Shot clock down to five for Minnesota. Edwards reverse layup. No good. Go Bear tried to tip it to himself and Pajki tried to save it and threw it to Randall. Now, Golden State’s defense kept them in the game the other night. It does most nights, but then the stars from Minnesota just really got it done in the second half to close that game, but Golden State here, good job contesting Randall in the post. Here’s Pensky on the drive. Pull up jumper. It’s good. Great sign for Golden State with Pensky already with more baskets here in the first four minutes than he had all of game three. He was 1 for 10 on Saturday. Edwards swishes home a three ball. Kickbased mentality. Anthony Edwards such a threat you cannot lose contact with him. Delay of game warning on Minnesota. The next one would be a technical foul and a free throw for the Warriors. Butler trying to shake McDaniels. And now he rises up. Not even close on that triple try, but it’s poked out to Green. Green calling for the ball screen. Now the switch. Go Bears on him. Entry pass. Jackson Davis. Strong move. Blew the layup, but he was fouled. And at the line in the playoffs, the Warriors tonight are just three of six at the line. Tie game 5 minutes in, nine apiece. Warriors trying to even the series up, which would help get Steph Curry back. They’ll be re-evaluated on Wednesday. That’s the day of game five. Then there’s a three-day off period before Sunday’s game six when he might be able to return. Empty possession for Minnesota. Here’s Green again pushing tempo as Steve Kerr wants. Butler 0 for one from the floor. One point that came in the opening two minutes. Vensky against McDaniels. Tough shot on the elbow. Fall away. Offensive board by Butler. Draymond Green. He’ll fire and hit a three. Three-point shooting for Draymond. We know can come and go. It’s streaky. He had four of them in game one. Good start tonight on his first three-point attempt. He’s got five points for the [Applause] Warriors. McDaniels going at Butler. Rises up over him and cans the 15t Jay. Well, I’m so impressed with what he’s added to his game. and he was primarily just a spot-on three-point shooter or slasher. Even mid-season, he has added the ability to do that. Get to his shot off the dribble, find his spot. And from three-point range, he’s shooting 40% in the playoffs. Nice catch in traffic. Butler swing by Peyton. No on the three. Rebound. Go. Quick outlet. Connley races up the court. Nobody stops. Ball and Connley hits. But now he might be their second most important offensive player. And against a team this long and athletic defensively, you need Kaminga because he can do things like that. Improvise offense because of his size and his ability to get off the floor even against bigger backline defenders. Great start just checking in the game. First touch gets a layup. 22-year-old in his fourth NBA season. Former number seven overall pick. Naz Reed checking into the game with the skip pass to McDaniels on the baseline. The jumper is off target but a foul. team at the line. The Warriors are three of six. Minnesota by two. Five minutes to play in the opening quarter. And Draymond Green, the primary ball handler with this group on the floor. Here’s Pensky. Two field goals tonight. None in the first half of game three. And a foul on Devenz. Genzo was trailing and he just wanted so desperately to get out on the closeout. Pajki saw it. Threw the foul. Pajki penetrates, hangs, missed it, poked out to Edwards. quickly up the court feeding Randall. Going to back down Draymond Green now. Falls away. It’s good. Julius Randall with seven early points. That’s just a shot he hasn’t been missing. And it’s the area of the floor he’s been giving the Warriors a nightmare with. Jackson Davis with the flush. Randle got enough air space to can a three-pointer.
