Social media quickly erupted with reactions to both the on-court action and the fan behavior. The Timberwolves’ fourth-quarter surge, where they outscored the Warriors 33-24, proved decisive in securing their playoff victory against a Warriors team still adjusting to playing without their star guard.
Fans React To Fans Kissing Behind Jimmy Butler During Game 3
A viral moment captured during the Minnesota Timberwolves’ victory over the Golden State Warriors has taken social media by storm. During Game 3, cameras caught two fans in a passionate kiss directly behind Jimmy Butler, creating an unexpected highlight that quickly spread across the internet.
The Timberwolves secured a crucial win, giving them a 2-1 lead in the playoff series. While the on-court action was intense, many viewers couldn’t help but notice the amorous couple in the background of the broadcast.
Social media erupted with humorous reactions to the unexpected display of affection. One fan jokingly suggested that watching Rudy Gobert play live inspired such passion, while others used the moment to poke fun at the Warriors’ struggles in the game.
Some viewers humorously misidentified one of the participants, with a commenter claiming it was Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. Another fan quipped that a nearby spectator just wanted to watch the basketball game without distractions.
The timing of the kiss seemed particularly notable to many, with several comments suggesting the fans were celebrating the Timberwolves’ dominant performance. The Warriors, playing without Stephen Curry, now face significant pressure heading into Game 4 on Monday night.
Despite the viral distraction, Anthony Edwards delivered an impressive performance for Minnesota, finishing with 36 points after a slow first half. Julius Randle added a triple-double with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists, helping the Timberwolves take control of the series.
The Warriors now face the difficult task of trying to even the series without having won a game in Curry’s absence this season. Game 4 represents a critical moment for Golden State’s playoff hopes.
