Warriors, without injured Steph Curry, lose match 2 against Timberwolves

Minneapolis – The Warriors ran the same sets as they have always made in Thursday’s match with Minnesota, the second match in the semi -final series of the team conference.

There were divided cuts, shooters running on screens and a lot of movement overall.

The pieces have been related, but without Steph Curry, which is absent with an injury to the hamstrings, engraving the wheels with a large shooting of all time, the offensive of the Warriors flouted. Meanwhile, the defense could not resist powerful Minnesota shots in an eruption 117-93 at the Target Center.

Curry was sitting next to the coaches in a black and red hooded sweatshirt due to the injury that will hold him out until the match 5.

Even with the biggest player in the franchise sitting in street clothes next to the coaches, the Warriors stayed in the match for two and a half before running out of steam.

With the star away, a meli-melo of players had to play great minutes next to Jimmy Butler, who had 17 points. Jonathan Kuminga scored 18 years and showed an ability to use his latent athletics to create his own rebound. Julius Randle led the Timberwolves with 23 points, and Anthony Edwards recorded 20.

After dropping from 56-39 to half-time, the Warriors started the third quarter on a race of 19-6, with Buddy Hield and Kuminga each buried at 3 points to reduce the advance of Minnesota to only seven with approximately six minutes.

But after seeing their advance at 65-58, the Wolves responded with an 11-0 race which put the Minnesota in control. The Minnesota led 85-65 at the end of the third quarter and salted the match from there.

Things could not have started worse for Golden State.

After spending 0 for 15 of 3 field points to start match 1, the Minnesota made its first two triples on the brands of Jaden McDaniels and Mike Conley while the Wolves took an advance of 13-0. The Wolves finished match 16 for 37 in the long term.

Butler scoring five points was almost everything that went well for the Warriors in the first quarter, who saw the Wolves lead 29-15 after the Warriors had more turnarounds (five) than the decisive passes (four) and only six made goals on the ground.

The second quarter was not much better, even when the Wolves seemed to make a mistake.

When Naz Reid defeated Draymond Green, the Warriors attacked his arms in a way reminiscent of his game against Fred Vanvleet of Houston in the final of the first round.

Just like in this match, the head official Tony Brothers dinga Green with a technical fault, his fifth of the playoffs. If he receives seven technicians, he forces an automatic suspension of a match.
