After going into halftime up two points, the Warriors saw their lead evaporate as the Wolves embarked on a 21-2 run starting with two Rudy Gobert free throws. The Warriors left the third quarter trailing by 20 after a 12-minute stretch filled with fruitless Golden State drives, turnovers and a parade of made Timberwolves jumpers.

Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle combined for 61 points in Game 4 to lead the Timberwolves to a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Warriors.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr keeps stressing how if Golden State is going to win its playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves it will be because of defense.
