For the second straight season, the Minnesota Timberwolves won a playoff series, defeating Luka Donu010diu0107, LeBron James, and the Los Angeles Lakers in five games. Now, the Timberwolves look to match their playoff success from a season ago and get back to the Western Conference Finals.
Standing in their way are Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and the Golden State Warriors in a series full of incredible storylines from both recent matchups and old beefs now rekindled.
In many ways, this Warriors team is similar to the Lakers, who like to play small, do not have a large amount of bench depth, and rely on one of the greatest players to ever do it.
