The Timberwolves’ season was defined by their first-round upset of the Nuggets, overcoming a 1-2 deficit to win four straight before running into a dominant San Antonio Spurs team that ended their run in Game 6. Golden State, meanwhile, ended their season without a playoff berth, a significant decline from their championship years. The contrast between the two franchises in 2026 reflects Minnesota’s ascent as a young Western Conference contender and the Warriors’ ongoing rebuild around their ageing core.

The Timberwolves’ 2026 run demonstrated that Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels are capable of carrying a team deep into the postseason, while Golden State’s failure to qualify underlines the extent of the work remaining before the franchise can legitimately challenge for conference relevance again.
