It ended on Wednesday night at the hands of the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Warriors were no match for the Timberwolves, who proved to be not only the better team but also the younger, more durable, and more physical team in this series.

Not only are the Warriors now heading home, but the Timberwolves sent them home earlier than they've ever been sent home under head coach Steve Kerr.

According to a recent post by Clutch Points, Minnesota is the first team to eliminate the Warriors in fewer than six games under Kerr.

"The Timberwolves are the first team to eliminate the Warriors in fewer than 6 games under Steve Kerr ?

"It's also the first time Kerr has lost 4 straight playoff games since he became head coach in 2014," shared Clutch Points.

Entering the season, the Warriors had little to no shot at a title. That call changed after they acquired superstar forward Jimmy Butler. Their fortunes changed instantly as they proved to be a championship team towards the back half of the season.

Many thought they could get the job done, especially after eliminating the No. 2 seed Houston Rockets in the first round. However, the hamstring injury to their superstar Stephen Curry was unfortunate, and without their best player, it was an uphill battle for the team that dominated the better part of the last decade.

While Kerr has suffered his fair share of losses, he is the ultimate winner both as a player and as a head coach. In total, Kerr has nine titles as a player and coach. He knows what it's like to be at the mountain top as well as coming up short in a playoff setting.

In his time with the Warriors alone, he's led his team to four titles, including back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018. As things stand, the Warriors are the last team to repeat as champions.

The Warriors' future is unclear, as their three best players are over 35. Time is certainly not on their side. This summer will be a massive one for Golden State.
