The Dubs competed their behinds off in Game 3 and even held an 82-77 lead in the fourth quarter. However, Minnesota's superstar Anthony Edwards put on his cape and scored 13 of his 36 points in that stretch to push his team to the win. After the game, "Jimmy Buckets" spoke about his team's mindset heading to Game 4 at the Chase Center.

On Saturday, May 10, the Golden State Warriors fell to a 102-97 defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was the second game the Warriors were without Stephen Curry, who is dealing with a grade one hamstring strain.

There was a line of thinking that Jimmy Butler didn't put his foot on the gas in Golden State's Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves because he was saving up his energy for Game 3 at home, when the Warriors were likely to have their best shot to steal the one win they need in this series to stay afloat until Stephen Curry can potentially get back.
