It won’t work without Curry! Edwards scored 36 points with injury, Looney defeated the Warriors

NBA playoffs continue today, with the Golden State Warriors returning to their home court to face the Minnesota Timberwolves. In this game, the Warriors were also very nervous. Although they won a valuable away victory in Minnesota and grabbed the home advantage of the series, they also paid a heavy price: the core scorer Curry injured his left hamstring in the first half of the first game of the series and was forced to make a quit.

According to the news of NBA famous reporter Shmas, Curry can return as soon as possible in Game 6 of the series, but the Warriors need to survive until Game 6 first. Therefore, it is best for the Warriors to win this home game today, so there will be more discussions later.

The Warriors also had a certain advantage at the beginning. They took out a very strong defense and suppressed the Timberwolves' offense. Edwards, the Timberwolves' main scorer, was also injured. His ankle sprained in the last game and forced his game. He made 3 of 12 shots in the first half, performing poorly.

But in the second half, especially in the third quarter, Edwards suddenly woke up, scored 15 points in a single quarter, and dunked the Warriors center Looney. Edwards' courage inspired the Timberwolves, who launched a fierce attack in the fourth quarter and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

Butler and Kumingga performed well today, among which Butler scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and Kumingga also contributed 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, but the Timberwolves' offensive in the final quarter was too strong. Edwards scored 36 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the whole game, and also hit the most critical three-pointer.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 102-97, leading 2-1 in total, and they were still 2 wins away to advance. I wonder if the Warriors can drag the game to Game 6.
