Julius Randle scored 29 points on 13-for-18 shooting to send the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Western Conference finals for the second straight time with a 121-110 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 on Wednesday night.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are headed to the Western conference finals for a second straight season after dominating the Warriors in Game 5 and really for the bulk of this series from the moment Stephen Curry went down.

Butler scored 33 points on 26 shots in Game 3 but combined for only 34 on 9-of-20 shooting between Games 4 and 5.

Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle were sidelined at the same time, and having them back is fueling Minnesota’s playoff run.

Sure enough, here Minnesota is a year later, back in the West Finals for the second straight season after downing Golden State 4-1, a result secured by a 121-110 victory in Game 5 on Wednesday at Target Center. Wednesday marked the first time Minnesota closed out a series at home since 2004. Those first continue to pile up with Edwards and Co.
