NBA playoffs: Timberwolves Take Game 2 against Stephen Curry-Less Warriors, despite her own Anthony Edwards Angst

by

They had to survive a few horrors in game 2, but the Minnesota Timberwolves went out their playoff series of the second round against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday.

Minnesota went with a 117-93 victory against a Warriors team who still lost the superstar Stephen Curry for at least a week, Wire-to-Wire-Sieg. However, the Timberwolves seemed ready to lose their own leading goal scorers when Anthony was under an ankle injury.

So there were several sighs of relief when Edwards returned after half -time without obvious problems. He ended the game with 20 points at 6-of-13 shooting, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. It was Julius Randle, who led all night all night for the Timberwolves, with 24 points, 11 templates and 7 rebounds.

In the meantime, Jonathan Kuminga came from the bank without a curry and led the warriors with 18 points.

Game 3 is planned for Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET in the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Anthony Edwards comes back from ankle excuses

Edwards' injury occurred in the second quarter when Edwards went to the floor and clutched his left ankle. Repetitions showed the foot of the Warriors Big Man Trayce Jackson-Davis landed on Edwards' ankle and left the 23-year-old on the floor and kept his lower leg when the game continued.

Edwards were later helped in the changing room, with sports trainers preventing him from putting weight on the ankle. The timber wolves announced later He was questionable to return with a sprain of the left ankles.

In the course of half -time, however, Edwards hardly able to run on the pitch with the rest of the team to run on the pitch. He was healthy enough to start the third quarter, despite the team with a lead of 56: 39.

Again, videos were removed from each other directly and below.

Edwards previously adapted this ankle in game 1 on Tuesday, in the middle of a performance that was bad enough that Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch Edwards came out after the game.

What do warriors try without a curry? All apparently

The warriors have to survive longer than a single game without a curry is not a enviable position. The entire offense of the team is not just about what the greatest shooter in the NBA story does with the ball, but what defense has to do if he does not have the ball.

Without a curry, the calculation, as they protect every player on the Warriors, becomes a basic arithmetic. Kerr's plan for game 2 was, of course, to throw everything against the wall and to see what was.

And so you are the first team in the history of the NBA playoffs, which uses 14 different players in the first half.

Seat the Draymond Green closer

The warriors are already an all-star. You also don't have to lose another for a single game.

Draymond Green is now dangerously close to achieving this. The veteran Big Man and Raconteur took up his fifth technical foul in the second quarter via the playoffs and left him back two technicians from an automatic one-game suspension.

The foul occurred on Thursday evening when T-Wolves Big Man Naz Reid was polluted in the second quarter. Green responded to Reid's contact by jumping with his arms and beating, caughting his opponent in the back of the head and sent him to the ground.

The officers checked the piece and thought it was a common foul for Reid and a technical foul for green.

It is not only green two technical fouls from a suspension, but also two obvious fouls because they have to miss a game.

Timberwolves avoid becoming the latest team to blow a 20-point lead

When Buddy Hield hit the 3 pointer to cut the leadership of the Timberwolves to seven points in the middle of the third quarter, we would not have blamed them that another 20-point comeback was underway, even with curry in street clothing.

In this post-season, an NBA playoff record Five comeback victory of at least 20 points was recorded. The youngest was the dissolution of the Boston Celtics in game 2 on Wednesday in the semi -finals of the Eastern Conference by the New York Knicks.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves reacted with an 11-0 run to bring the game out of reach.
