In a recent NBA playoff game, the Minnesota Timberwolves took advantage of Stephen Curry’s absence, defeating the Golden State Warriors 117-93, thereby leveling their second-round series at 1-1.

Julius Randle stood out with 24 points and 11 assists. Meanwhile, Anthony Edwards added 20 points after overcoming an ankle scare to help the Timberwolves increase their three-point shooting dramatically to 16 out of 37, unlike their performance in Game 1. Curry, sidelined due to a left hamstring strain, will likely be unable to play until next week.

Edwards injured his ankle during a layup attempt but managed to return in the second half, finishing strong with 20 points and 9 rebounds. On the other side, Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis made significant contributions for the Warriors, shooting an impressive combined 14-for-17 from the field.

The Timberwolves exploited their defensive advantage against a weakened Warriors side, leading to the Warriors’ lowest first-quarter score (15) in playoff history. Draymond Green received his fifth technical foul of the playoffs after an altercation with Naz Reid, which had Curry concerned about his teammate’s potential ejection.
