SAN FRANCISCO - The Minnesota Timberwolves hope their third California adventure of the postseason proves to be as fruitful as the first two when they tip off a two-game sequence of the playoffs against the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco on May 10 (May 11, Singapore time).

The teams are scheduled for Game 3 on May 10 and Game 4 on May 12 in the best-of-seven series, with the sides each having won a game when the National Basketball Association Western Conference semi-finals opened in Minneapolis earlier in the week.

As the sixth seeds in the West, the Timberwolves were the underdogs when they began their first-round series with a road win over the third-seeded Los Angeles Lakers in April.

Minnesota came away from the trip with a split, then never lost again in a 4-1 elimination of the Lakers, a three-game winning streak that included a clinching victory back in Los Angeles in Game 5.
