Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors starting lineups and depth charts for Game 3 (May 10) | 2025 NBA Playoffs, West semis
On Saturday, the Minnesota Timberwolves will travel to the Bay Area to face the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the Western Conference semi-finals. Both teams are at a win apiece and will be looking to take the lead at the Chase Center tonight. In their last game, the Timberwolves beat the Warriors by a score of 117-93.
With Stephen Curry reportedly out until Game 6, the Bay Area team will need to make their home-court advantage count. Similar to their first-round tie to the Rockets, the Warriors enter Game 3 with the scores tied at 1-1. In that series, they were able to win Games 3 and 4 at home, and will need to replicate something similar against the Timberwolves.
However, the Minnesota team is a tough unit to beat. In Game 2, they had a complete team performance with the starting five and the bench playing a significant role. Anthony Edwards and Nickeil Alexander-Walker both scored 20 points each however, it was Julius Randle who impressed the most. The former Knicks star has finally found his rhythm in the North Star state.
Randle recorded 24 points and 11 assists on the night. He also had a 10-17 figure from the field goal and drained a solitary shot from beyond the three-point arc. On the other hand, the Warriors struggled without Stephen Curry in the team, while Game 1 heroes like Buddy Hield and Jimmy Butler failed to leave a mark.
Furthermore, Draymond Green's disciplinary issues have been a huge problem for the Warriors, as he is two technical fouls away from being suspended for a game.
