In a critical Game 5 against the Timberwolves, the Warriors struggled without star guard Steph Curry, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Coach Steve Kerr used a range of players in a desperate attempt to find a winning combination, but the Warriors succumbed to the Timberwolves 121-110, marking their fourth consecutive playoff loss and failing to advance beyond the second round for the third year in a row. Both Kerr and player Draymond Green acknowledged the impact of injuries on their performance, indicating how critical health is in playoff success.
Without Steph Curry, the Warriors did not have the firepower to force a Game 6 and extend their season, dropping their fourth game in a row in a 121-110 setback.
The playoffs are really about health and just guys stepping up and making big shots and big plays in key games, Kerr said.
It sucks, Draymond Green said of playing without Curry. But they beat us. You know, injuries are a part of it.
I know we had a shot. I know we could've gone the distance, Kerr reflected on the missed opportunity without Curry.
