After the Warriors lost: Kor praised Kumingga, Butler set the target, Hilder questioned the blow

The Warriors lost the game against the Timberwolves G3. Although they learned before the game that Curry had to return at least G6, the team had no way out, and they also played very hard in this game to win. The stalemate continued until the last moment, but was eventually reversed by the Timberwolves and lost the game regretfully. The Warriors who are behind 1:2 are at a disadvantage. So what news should they pay attention to after the game? Let’s take a look together? After the Warriors lost: Kor praised Kumingga, Butler set the target, and Hilder questioned the call.

First of all, the team was able to be in a stalemate with the Timberwolves for a long time and led many times, thanks to the performance of Butler and Kumingga. In the first half, the two carried the team's offense, and the whole team used their excellent defense to limit the Timberwolves' offense and remained stalemate with their opponents until the final quarter. In this game, Butler played 43 minutes and made 12 of 26 shots, scoring 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists; his performance in the first three quarters was quite outstanding, but his offensive efficiency declined due to physical energy in the last quarter. Missed multiple shots.

For myself playing for 43 minutes, Butler expressed his hope to play for 48 minutes like he did in Chicago, and I can do whatever the team needs me to do. Although Butler said this, age is here, and physical fitness issues have become the key to restricting Butler's efficiency in the last quarter. But he still has confidence, he said we are still as confident as ever, and we will tie the score to 2:2. It doesn’t make sense how many times you take action, I must win.

If the series cannot be tied to 2:2 in the next game, then for the Warriors, they will face being eliminated. In addition to Butler's outstanding performance, Kumingga will also continue this game. In this game, Kumingga became an important part of the team's offense and defense. After playing for 36 minutes, he made 11 of 18 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, scored 30 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, with plus or minus value +5, which is completely different from the previous game.

Kor praised Kumingga's performance after the game. He said that Kumingga was enlightened, and now he obviously found the feeling and rhythm, and he caught up with the critical moment. In the first half, he did a pretty good job in defensive restrictions on Randle and Edwards, and he also played very well in his offense, but it was obvious that he was not the player who could help the Warriors decide the victory or defeat at critical moments. He still has a lot of room for improvement.

In the next game, in addition to Kumingga and Butler, there is another player who wants to stand up. He is Hilde. After all, Hild's offensive performance in this game was not ideal, which made Butler and Kumingga lack help. In this game, he made 5 of 11 shots and scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, which was obviously not enough. He needed to hit more three-pointers.

It is worth mentioning that after the game, Hilde talked about the yelling in the game in an interview. He said that everything is not within our expectations, and I really don’t understand the rules. Green is a historical defender, but if the opponent pushes his forearm on your chest and the referee is indifferent, in this case, you should immediately whistle and there is no need to hesitate. Butler was fouled at least several times in the penalty area, but the referee turned a blind eye. Hilder expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's call.

Of course, for them, what needs to be done now is to focus on the next game. To prepare for the follow-up, we look forward to the Warriors' next home court to fight back, tie the series, and give Curry time to recover from injury, while also continuing the suspense of the series. Do you think the Warriors will win in the next game?
