Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green made an apology after Game 4's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Thus, the question was put to Warriors coach Steve Kerr: Why keep going back to Podziemski as a starter? Why not look to Gary Payton II (Kerr did so in Game 6 vs. Houston) or gamble on, say, Gui Santos or Jonathan Kuminga?

The Golden State Warriors lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-110 in Game 4 of their 2025 NBA Playoff Western Conference semifinals, leaving them in a 3-1 deficit as the series moves back to Minneapolis for a potential closeout Game 5.

The Golden State Warriors will officially be looking to stave off elimination without Steph Curry in the lineup.

The Warriors didn’t receive the surprise they needed to win Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series with the Timberwolves on Monday. So now they’re going to need something much, much stronger. Down 3-1 and heading to Minnesota for a close-out Game 5, the Dubs will need a miracle. Specifically, one of the medical variety.

• Butler was going to shoot the ball 26 times, score 33 points• Jonathan Kuminga would add 30 points with 3-of-4 shooting from beyond the arc• The Warriors would hold Minnesota to 43 percent shooting• Minnesota would end the game with more turnovers than Golden State• The Wolves did not control the offensive glass

Multiple Minnesota Timberwolves fans uttered a racial slur at Warriors star Draymond Green during Game 2 on Thursday, an eyewitness to the incident told SFGATE.
