Thursday, the Minnesota Timberwolves face the Golden State Warriors with a chance to go down 2-0 in the semi-final of the Western Conference.
The Warriors won the opening match 99-89 Tuesday behind 24 Buddy Hield points, while Jimmy Butler III collected 20 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.
Stephen Curry left this match due to an injury and was diagnosed with a strain of left hamstrings on Wednesday. He suffered an MRI and will be reassessed in a week, the Warriors said. Although the team has not given a exact calendar for the return of Curry, it will be based on the way it reacts to rehabilitation for the first injury to the muscle stock of his career, sources have told Shams Charania d’Espn.
Minnesota will seek to bounce back after a performance where it went 0 for 15 of the deepest in the first half, tied for the greatest number of failures without making half of the playoffs in the last 25 seasons, according to ESPN Research. Anthony Edwards, a star goalkeeper, also went 0 for 8 on the field during this half-time, for most of the failures without doing by a Timberwolves player in half of the playoffs in the game by play (since 1997-1998).
