On Wednesday night, the Golden State Warriors will play the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center for Game 5.

The Warriors are coming off a 117-110 loss in Game 4 (at home), so they are on the verge of elimination (down 3-1 in the series).

Before the game, NBA legend Dwight Howard made a strong prediction that the Warriors will not be forcing a Game 6.

Howard (via the NBA on TNT): "They got about the same amount of chances as Boston do. Zero. It's over with for both of them. I'm going with it, yes. Golden State is out."

The Warriors won Game 1, but they have struggled without their best player (Steph Curry) in each of the previous three games.
