Timberwolves Eliminate Warriors, Return to NBA West Finals

Julius Randall scored 29 points and Anthony Edwards had a double double with 22 points and 12 assists to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Golden State Warriors 121-110 on May 14th in Game 5 of their NBA Western Division Quarterfinals. The Timberwolves won the series 4-1 and will move on to the Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row.

Six Timberwolves scored in double figures. Brandin Podziemski led the Warriors with 28 and Jonathon Kuminga scored 26. Golden State was without Stephen Curry, who did not play due to a hamstring strain.

Last year, Minnesota advanced to the conference final, but lost to the Dallas Mavericks. The sixth seeded Timberwolves will face the winner of the Oklahoma City-Denver series in the west finals this time around.
