The Warriors took the first game of the series on the road, but the Timberwolves took advantage of Stephen Curry’s absence to get into the win column in the second. Curry left Game 1 with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for at least a week.

This series nearly became the Warriors without Stephen Curry against the Timberwolves without Anthony Edwards.

Anthony Edwards had 20 points, nine rebounds, five assists and three steals for a Minnesota team that never trailed. In fact, Minnesota jumped out to a 13-0 lead and even led by double digits for the final 40 minutes and 32 seconds of the game.
