Briefly

The Minnesota Timberwolves convincingly defeated the Golden State Warriors in Game 5, concluding the series in dominant fashion. Notably, Julius Randle's pivotal three-pointer gave the Timberwolves a firm lead. The game highlighted the poignant farewell of Warriors star Steph Curry, as he appeared dazed watching the culmination of the season that ended far from contentment. Despite Curry's strong performance, the season's end wasn’t due to his diminishing skills but rather injuries and lack of support from his team. The situation reflects the melancholy of great athletes not leaving on their own terms.
"The bummer of this Steph Curry season, though, is not that he doesn't have it anymore, but that he does."
"Nobody ever gets to go out on their own terms... few to no competitors serious enough to become all-timers will quit with gas in the tank."
