Warriors' Season Ends in Game 5 Loss to Timberwolves + Celtics Force Game 6

Pam and Alex discuss the end of the Warriors season and the Celtics forcing a Game 6.

In last night's game, the Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs after a 121-110 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals. The Timberwolves clinched the series 4-1, advancing to the next round. Jonathan Kuminga led the Warriors with 26 points, while Anthony Edwards contributed 27 points for Minnesota. The game was notable for the absence of Warriors star Stephen Curry, who missed half of Game 1 and all of game 2-5 due to a hamstring injury. This loss marks the end of Golden State's postseason run. Where do the Warriors go from here? What will they look like next season?

The New York Knicks suffered a 127-102 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at TD Garden. This defeat extended the series to a 3–2 lead for the Knicks, who now return home for Game 6 with a chance to clinch the series. Despite the absence of star player Jayson Tatum, the Celtics delivered a dominant performance. Derrick White and Luke Kornet stepped up, contributing significantly to the team's success.

The Knicks faced challenges throughout the game, with key players like OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges having off nights and Brunson piling up 5 fouls in the 3rd quarter alone and fouling out early in the 4th quarter. Their underwhelming performances were a factor in the team's loss. The Knicks will aim to regroup and secure the series win in Game 6, which will be held at Madison Square Garden on Friday, May 14, 2025, at 8pm. Their performance in this upcoming game will be crucial to advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. Are the Knicks in trouble? Is Game 6 a must win? Who will win Game 6?
