The Minnesota Timberwolves face the Golden State Warriors this Thursday, with the possibility of going down 2-0 in the Western Conference semifinals.<\/p>\n\n
The Warriors won the first game 99-89 on Tuesday, thanks to Buddy Hield’s 24 points. Jimmy Butler III contributed 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists.<\/p>\n\n
Stephen Curry exited that game with a hamstring injury and on Wednesday was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of his left hamstring. He underwent an MRI and will be re-evaluated in a week, the Warriors reported.<\/p>\n\n
Although the team did not give an exact timeframe for his return, it will depend on how he responds to the rehabilitation of the first muscle injury of his career.<\/p>\n\n
Minnesota will look to bounce back after a performance in which they didn’t score any three-pointers in 15 attempts in the first half, tying the record for most misses without a make in a playoff half in the last 25 seasons.<\/p>\n\n
Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards also missed all 8 of his field goal attempts in that half, tying the record for most misses without a make by a Timberwolves player in a playoff half in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98).<\/p>\n\n
Will the Warriors go home with a 2-0 lead or will the Wolves tie the series?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
