Game 4 - Postgame Media Conference

Timberwolves - 117, Warriors - 110

Q. Down 3-1, a lot of veterans in that locker room, what's the mood, what's the mindset in there now?

JONATHAN KUMINGA: The mindset and mood is still very high. We're keeping our hopes. We're keeping our energy, our vibe still great because we just gotta go get that one. But I think everybody's mindset is very -- it's good. Nobody's down.

Q. To follow up on that, you being one of the younger players, obviously there's some guys here that have won some championships, but with everyone else, is there a sense -- you kind of said no -- but a sense of panic knowing it's do or die from here on out in this series?

JONATHAN KUMINGA: I mean, the next game is going to be about do or die, because we need that. If we get that one, everything is going to be settled down. It's a big one. We've just got to go out there and figure out how to get it.

Q. Knowing that it's a big one going into game Game 5, knowing that you found some rhythm out there in the last two games, how did that make you feel specifically about your game going into Game 5?

JONATHAN KUMINGA: I feel very comfortable. I feel comfortable. I feel ready no matter any circumstance, I know that I have to go out there and provide.

Q. (Indiscernible) it's 17-0 run, you and Jimmy (indiscernible) make things as easy (indiscernible)?

JONATHAN KUMINGA: I think we just panic because they was making everything. And I think that was the only time we should have just settled down. And we let our guards down. I think that's pretty much it. We just panicked a little bit.

Q. At one point in the third quarter you guys had a lineup up there with no point guard. What were those minutes like for you? And how was the spacing in general in that third quarter?

JONATHAN KUMINGA: I think Jimmy was our point guard. He's been the point guard his whole life. I didn't really see any problem. I feel like things were going well.

Q. Jimmy only took nine shots tonight. Did you feel like you needed to be a little more aggressive tonight knowing that Jimmy -- and I think Steve said he was a little under the weather -- I was wondering about that.

JONATHAN KUMINGA: I don't think so.
