On May 13, the Warriors G4 lost to the Timberwolves 110-117 at home, with a total score of 1-3 behind, and their lives were hanging on the line. The Warriors lost 22 points in the third quarter and instantly defeated, and surrendered 4 minutes and 38 seconds ahead of schedule in the final quarter. In the key game of G4, the Warriors continued to arrange Butler, Zhu Meng, Hilder, Pojmsky and TJD to start, and Kumingga continued to play as a substitute; throughout the first half, the Warriors and the Timberwolves played in a very stalemate, and the Warriors led by 2 points 60-58 after the half. In the first half, Hild and Kumingga scored 16 points in the bench, and Butler made 3 of 5 shots and only scored 7 points and 3 rebounds.

The Warriors collapsed in the third quarter in the second half. Not only was the Timberwolves 17-0 super offensive, but they also lost 22 points in a single quarter 17-39, and 20 points behind 77-97 after the third quarter. The Warriors were all about 20 points behind in the final quarter, with more than 4 minutes left in the game. The Warriors' home fans were so depressed that they left early. Then Cole withdrew from the main force and surrendered 4 minutes and 38 seconds in advance. Curry and others were full of frustration and despair. It was useless for the Warriors to continue to resist substitutes. The Warriors lost G4 and were on the verge of being eliminated.

In this game, Butler made 5 of 9 shots and scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists, with a plus-minus value of -30, which was defended by McDaniels; Zhu Meng made 6 of 14 shots and scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, with a plus-minus value of -18, and Kumingga scored 23 points in 6 of 13 substitutes.

NBA history so far, 95% of the teams that had previously led 3-1 advanced to the next round, with a total record of 280 wins and 13 losses in the series. Judging from the historical laws, the Warriors have only 5% of their hopes of turning the tables. In other words, the Warriors are infinitely close to being eliminated.

In the first four games of the Western Conference semi-finals, the Warriors G1 lost three games in a row after winning. Curry missed three games in a row due to a hamstring strain. The Warriors who did not have Curry struggled on the offensive end. It is reported that Curry targeted G6 to return, but the Warriors fell behind 1-3. If G5 loses again, they will not wait for Curry to come back. The Warriors have come to the edge of the cliff. Will Curry come back early? Let's wait and see.
