Jimmy Butler, Warriors excite NBA fans in the G1 victory against wolves when curry ends with injuries

The game 1 on Tuesday of their playoff series in the second round could have been expensive for the Golden State Warriors, but at least they won a win.

Golden State defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 99-88 in the Target Center to take a 1-0 lead, but Stephen Curry was excluded with a left thigh load for the rest of the competition in the first half.

To his honor, it fought the adversity behind a strong defensive and a balanced offense with Buddy Hield (24 points and eight rebounds), Jimmy Butler (20 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists and two steals) and Draymond Green (18 points, eight rebounds, six assists and two steals).

Social media was impressed by the ability of the Warriors to gather Curry's setback:

The Timberwolves stayed as the fresher team in this series, considering that they had driven past the Los Angeles Lakers in five games in the first round and had not played since Wednesday. On the other hand, the Warriors needed strenuous seven games to surpass the Houston Rockets and played on Sunday.

But it was Minnesotas who were nowhere to be found from the gates.

The home team only achieved 31 points in the first half when it fell back at 13. As a team, 0-from 15 went from the three-point range, while Anthony Edwards against a strong defense of the Warriors with Green and Butler 0-of-8 went off the field.

Nevertheless, the advantage felt weak at best, since Curry was still at a striking distance even after a abysmal offensive start.

It also seemed like the Timberwolves gathered when Naz Reid Reid scored the first three of the team and Edwards scored his first field gate on two possessions in the third quarter. The sequence pulled a roar from the crowd that competed as a little sarcastically, but the home team gave an urgently needed swing.

However, this momentum did not take long when Hield turned from the takeover mode with an increased role at Curry.

In the third quarter alone, he poured 16 points, nine of whom came to two back and forth plus one and one game. It was the exact type of golden state that was needed to fill the curry empty and expanded the lead to an order 20 that entered the fourth.

But the Timberwolves cut the deficit to single -digit digits, with Rudy Gobert fighting on the glass, Reid threes and Edwards attacks the jump. The Warriors still needed another answer, and Gary Payton II and Hield provided it with clutch trees on the track.

While curry questions linger, the Warriors now have the momentum into game 2 on Thursday.
