With a mix of youth, experience and bold decisions, the Minnesota Timberwolves reach the West Finals for the second consecutive year after defeating the Golden State Warriors 4 games to 1. What for years was a forgotten franchise is now synonymous with consistency and ambition in the NBA. The Minnesota Timberwolves have achieved a milestone in their history: qualifying for the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year, something unprecedented for the organization.
With this feat, the Wolves make it three conference finals appearances: 2004, 2024 and now 2025. They do it after a solid season and with a renewed core after the departure of Karl-Anthony Towns, traded to the Knicks in 2024.
Reconstruction that works
Many thought the Towns trade was the end of an era for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
However, the arrival of Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo revitalized the team.

They were joined by young talent such as Rob Dillingham (a 2024 draft pick) and Anthony Edwards, who continues to establish himself as a superstar.
Coach Chris Finch, at the helm since 2021, has been instrumental in developing this balanced squad of youth and experience.

One more challenge: reaching the NBA Finals

The goal is clear: to reach the first NBA Finals in franchise history.
