Warriors vs Wolves Series Schedule: Date, Time, TV Channel for Second Round of 2025 NBA Playoffs

If you had been told 4 months ago that the Golden State Warriors would advance to the second round of the 2024-25 playoffs, would you have believed them? I mean, the Dub Nation would certainly hope so. But probably not. And yet, as the Bay Area franchise defeated the Houston Rockets in Game 7 to avoid a close elimination. Now, the stage is set for Stephen Curry and Co. to go up against the same team that recently asserted their dominance in a 4-1 series: the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Both teams have seldom underestimated the prowess held by the other. After a close 116-115 win against the Wolves back in January, Steve Kerr admitted that he had to do something during the game that he hated: increase Stephen Curry’s minutes. He said: “I hate that his [Steph Curry] minutes are creeping up, I don’t like it, but we gotta do what we gotta do”. Meanwhile, Chris Finch has publicly criticized the physicality that was utilized during the Warriors-Rockets series, calling it “without a purpose”. Therefore, the matchup between these two teams will be nothing short of exciting. Want to make sure you don’t miss even a minute of it? Well then, read on to find out all the key details of the Warriors-Timberwolves second-round schedule.

When will the Warriors-Timberwolves games take place?

Anthony Slater recently featured the upcoming game schedule through a tweet from his official X account. According to it, the schedule for the Warriors-Timberwolves game is as follows:

It wasn’t a surprise that the Minnesota Timberwolves ended up with the home-court advantage. After all, Anthony Edwards and Co. were ranked 1 seed higher than the Warriors in the 2024-25 regular season. Furthermore, the Wolves ended their run by winning 4 out of the 5 games against the Lakers, while the strong contention against the Rockets forced the Warriors to take the series to Game 7.

If the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Golden State Warriors, the squad will advance to the Western Conference Finals for a second year in a row. They will face either the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Denver Nuggets. The Minnesota Timberwolves, for the most part, have struggled against the Warriors this season. Out of their last 4 matchups, Stephen Curry and Co. won 3. However, Minnesota built its prowess up during the final stretch of the season, going 15-5 over its final 21 games. Meanwhile, Golden State has been holding an improved status since the addition of Jimmy Butler, aka a former Wolves player. The Warriors finished the regular season 12-8 over their final 20 games (per Statmuse) and took down Memphis in the play-in tournament. In terms of odds, the upcoming games can be as unpredictable as one would expect.

Despite this, Anthony Edwards and Co. are going into the game with an advantage. After all, the Timberwolves will have had 5 full days of rest for Game 1. Meanwhile, with the first game scheduled in Minneapolis for 9:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 6, the Warriors squad has less than 48 hours after the final whistle in Houston Sunday night to rest and prepare. Not ideal, especially after Stephen Curry became candid with his and his teammates’ current condition.

This is a developing story.
