The Warriors had a victory against the Timberwolves in game 1 of their Western Conference semi-final in Timberwolves in the game of Western Conference after a miserable first half of Minnesota in the Target Center. This gave the Warriors the early leadership when they tried to return it to a conference final for the first time since their championship in 2022.

Stephen Curry lose warriors early

In the second quarter of Minneapolis, Curry hobbled from the square in Minneapolis with a thigh injury. He suddenly kept up and grabbed the background of his left leg after the defense, but he briefly went through. He tried to put the ball onto the pitch the next time he was handled after handling the ball after he had missed a floater in the middle of the lane.

Curry then demanded a sub when he ran back to defense and was clearly disturbed by his left leg. He hobbled and went straight to the changing room at the next time.

The Warriors quickly excluded him from the game with a left thigh pollution before half -time. It is unclear how severe the injury is or how long it is. He had 13 points, a rebound and an assist when he shot 5-of-21 with three 3-horses when he went.

Despite the opportunity to have curry from the picture, the Timberwolves fell completely flat. In the second quarter they only managed 11 points as a group and then entered the half -time with only 31 points. That was very few who allowed the warriors in the team history in half in the gunshot watch. Anthony Edwards also fought. He had only one point and shot from the field in the first 24 minutes 0-von 8. The Timberwolves went 0: 15 behind the bow as a team.

Although the Timberwolves offensive finally appeared in the second half, it was too late. The Warriors successfully down the route in the third quarter and took their lead to 20 by the end of the period.

Although the Timberwolves opened the fourth quarter with a 16: 5 run and cut the game back to individual digits, this pressure did not take. The Warriors reacted one last time to Buddy Hield-Der-and Jimmy Butler in a row. They also went to a defense stand and held the Timberwolves for almost four minutes without a field gate to take control again. That was just enough for the warriors to escape with the 11-point victory.

Edwards ended with 23 points, almost all in the second half and 14 rebounds for the Timberwolves. Julius Randle added 18 points, and Naz Reid put 19 points from the bank. As a team, Minnesota shot only 5 out of 29 from the 3-point line.

HILD led the Warriors with 24 points and seven rebounds after shooting 5-of-point from the 3-point line. Jimmy Butler finished only a triple double with 18 points, 11 rebounds and eight templates, and Draymond Green also ended 18 points and eight rebounds.

If Curry has run for a significant time, the series can quickly change it. The Warriors are only 48 hours away from their street victory against the Houston Rockets in game 7 of the previous series, so that Curry didn't have much rest. He played 46 minutes in this competition. Until after game 5 there is only one day of rest between every game in this series, so Curry doesn't have much time to recover.

Game 2 of the series is set for Thursday evening.
