Podziemski came away from the game with a black eye, which appears to have come from an elbow as Gobert shed him in the post on the play above. Warriors coach Steve Kerr also took issue with the officiating so far in this year's playoffs.

The Golden State Warriors are apparently playing football and not basketball when facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to Wolves coach Chris Finch.

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says he sent the NBA clips of Golden State Warriors players fouling Rudy Gobert on the boards during Tuesday's Game 1 of the 2025 Eastern Conference semifinals. "On defensive rebounding, they do a lot of fouling, holding, shoving, pushing, tackling Rudy. That's clear," Finch told reporters on Wednesday.
