The Minnesota Timberwolves reached their first Western Conference finals in 20 years last season, then made one of the most controversial moves in franchise history by trading Karl-Anthony Towns. And now they're right back in the conference finals.

Two long-suffering NBA franchises can secure conference title spots with Game 5 wins Wednesday, although only Minnesota is favored.

Superman isn’t busting through that wall and saving the Golden State Warriors. With guard Stephen Curry set to miss Game 5 on Wednesday against the Timberwolves, the Warriors’ backs are against and the wall and it appears that their world is falling after losing three straight games in this second-round series.
