The Warriors storm Minnesota despite Stephen Curry's injury!
The Bay's star had to retire, but San Francisco's team took Game 1
For the first time in NBA history, all four teams without home-court advantage won the first game of the Conference Semifinals. Following the victories of the Knicks over the Celtics, Nuggets over OKC, Pacers (2) over the Cavs, yesterday came the win for Golden State Warriors against Minnesota Timberwolves.
Despite Stephen Curry having to leave the game due to a hamstring injury after playing only 13 minutes (scoring 13 points), the Bay Area team managed to win. Draymond Green (18+8+6) and Jimmy Butler (20+11+8) led the team, with Buddy Hield (24 points and 5 three-pointers) showcasing his skills once again. The Warriors displayed excellent defense in a strategically challenging game.
The final score was 99-88 in favor of the Warriors over the Wolves, who couldn't replicate their performance against the Lakers: they lost the rebound battle (51-41) and struggled from the three-point line (5 for 29). Anthony Edwards stood out with 23 points and 13 rebounds, but had only 2 assists. The upcoming Game 2 will reveal how the Wolves respond, especially concerning Stephen Curry's injury and potential return.
