Strong! Cole fell behind in the series 1-2 in coaching career, with a total record of 5 wins and 2 losses

On the fiercely contested NBA playoff stage, the Timberwolves rushed to the away game to challenge the strong Warriors and finally won the thrilling victory with a score of 102-97. The result of this game was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Warriors, leaving them behind 1-2 in the big score.

From detailed statistics, Steve Cole's coaching career, when the team was behind 1-2 in the series, its overall record was 5-2. Among them, the winning five-round series has their own characteristics. In the semi-finals of 2015, the Warriors successfully achieved a reversal with their excellent team cooperation and the outstanding performance of players at critical moments; in the 2015 finals, despite many challenges, the Warriors finally got the last laugh with their tenacious fighting spirit and tactical adjustments; in the 2016 Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, it was a thrilling showdown, the Warriors exploded in adversity and showed strong resistance to stress; in the 2022 Finals against the Celtics, the Warriors showed their championship background at critical moments and successfully broke through; in the first round of 2023, they narrowly passed the level with their rich experience and stable performance.

However, the two-round series lost is also impressive. In the 2019 Finals against the Raptors, the Warriors suffered from injuries, their lineup was not in order, and they were finally defeated; in the second round of 2023, the two sides fought fiercely, and the Warriors failed to make a comeback. It is worth noting that the only series that lost G3 at home ended in a loss in these series, a phenomenon that reflects the importance of home advantage at critical moments and the huge impact of the team’s ability to cope with pressure on the outcome of the game. From a historical perspective, home games often bring more confidence and support to the team, but once this advantage is lost, the challenges faced by the team will be even more arduous. From a social perspective, fans' expectations and public opinion pressure will also affect the team's performance to a certain extent. In terms of culture, each team has its own unique team culture and game style, which also largely determines their response strategies and final game results in a difficult situation.
