Minnesota, on the other hand, is looking to close this series out at home, as they hope to book their spot in the Western Conference Finals against the winner of the Denver Nuggets-Oklahoma City Thunder series.
NBA legend Dwyane Wade has jumped in on the action. The three-time NBA champion took to social media to make an exciting announcement about the game.

"All right, I'm headed to the studio right now," Wade said. "The poll is out. The answers are in. Game 5, Golden State, Minnesota Timberwolves.
"Is [Anthony Edwards] going to close it out and get his team back to the Western Conference Finals? Is Golden State going to fight and get it back to the crib? So maybe Chef Curry come back. We don't know. We're going to see."
Wade went on to say that he will be providing post-game commentary via the Playback streaming app. At the end of the clip, the Hall of Fame shooting guard also shouted out his "WY Network" podcast, where he talks about topics that go beyond the realm of basketball with his guests.

For Wednesday night, however, Wade will be focused on the aftermath of what appears to be a series-clinching win by the Timberwolves.
As of writing, the Wolves are up 104-93 with a little over five minutes remaining in the contest.

Can the Boston Celtics shock the NBA's Eastern Conference this season?
Can the Boston Celtics shock the NBA's Eastern Conference this season? After the Celtics gutted their 2024 title core in the wake of star forward Jayson Tatum's Achilles tendon injury and impending repeater tax and second apron team building penalties, the general consensus on how Boston will play in the 2025-26 NBA regular season has been a borderline playoff ball club at best, and a lottery team at worst. But is there a chance that the current iteration of the Celtics could surprise people and comfortably make the postseason, followed by a multi-round playoff run? Or is that asking too much of a stripped down Boston roster with a number of young and rookie players? The hosts of the CLNS Media "First to the Floor" podcast, Jake Issenberg, Ben Vallis, and Wayne Spooney, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

NBA clears Boston Celtics' $6.1 billion sale to Bill Chisholm
A group headed by Bill Chisholm is set to take control of the Boston Celtics after the NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved the sale on Wednesday. The NBA wrote in a statement, 'The transaction is expected to close shortly.' The reported $6.1 billion valuation for the club makes it the second-largest sale price for a US sports franchise, behind the $10 billion valuation for the Los Angeles Lakers when Mark Walter purchased that team in June. Chisholm and his partners are buying at least 51 percent of the Celtics. The ownership stake will increase in 2028, according to the purchase contract, when Chisholm's group is scheduled to buy out the remaining minority shareholders at a $7.3 billion valuation. According to multiple media reports, Chisholm will take over as the Celtics' governor when the sale goes through. Outgoing owner Wyc Grousbeck is expected to serve as alternate governor and remain the CEO through 2028. Grousbeck will cede his role when he no longer has the required ownership stake of at least 15 percent. Chisholm, the co-founder and managing partner of the California-based private equity firm STG Partners, is a Massachusetts native and longtime Celtics fan. Grousbeck and the outgoing ownership group Boston Basketball Partners LLC purchased the Celtics for $360 million in 2002. During that group's tenure, the club won NBA titles in 2007-08 and 2023-24 – the latter representing Boston's league-record 18th championship.
