Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green was fined $50,000 for making an "inappropriate comment that questions the integrity of game officials," the NBA announced on Wednesday. The incident occurred late in the Warriors' loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3 of their second-round series.

Golden State’s narrow path to success since losing Curry has been clear. The Warriors have to play in transition, get numerous defensive stops and win the possession battle via turnovers and rebounds. The good thing about that, Alexander-Walker noted, is those are all controllables.

Minnesota uses a 3rd quarter barrage led by Anthony Edwards to stake a 3-1 series lead and move within a win of the West Finals.

The Timberwolves now have a 2-1 lead after pulling out a clutch win on the road against the Warriors. Anthony Edwards turned it on in the second half, scoring 28 of his 36 points in the last two frames, while Julius Randle was a steady force throughout the game, racking up 24 points of his own.
