With Jimmy Butler leading the way, Golden State will not go quietly in Game 5 — force a Game 6 and maybe they get Curry back, and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. However, they will have to find new offense on the road five games into a playoff series, which is a big ask.

Stephen Curry has been cleared for shooting drills and light on-court workouts despite a strained left hamstring, giving him a chance to play for the Golden State Warriors if they force a Game 6 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Anthony Edwards didn’t just put up 36 points in Game 3 — he called out the Warriors’ entire strategy in one mic’d-up moment. “Y’all trynna get to Game 6… and get Wardell back,” Edwards said to Gary Payton II courtside.

LeBron James praised Anthony Edwards' evolution, saying the rising star "figured it out" against Lakers' schemes.
