On their first night without Stephen Curry in the starting lineup, it took nearly five minutes for the Golden State Warriors to score their first points. An offense that lacked direction saw the Minnesota Timberwolves pack a heavy punch, tying the series 1-1.

After Nickeil Alexander-Walker missed a shot on the other end, Curry found Draymond Green for a three-pointer and a 30-20 edge, leading to a Minnesota timeout. Brandin Podziemski subbed in for Curry with 8:19 left in the first half. Curry finished with 13 points in 13 minutes.

Golden State was run off the court in a 117-93 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals.
