Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Game Summary

The Golden State Warriors remained in Minneapolis for Game 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. Despite Steph Curry playing only 13 minutes because of a hamstring strain, the Dubs won the series opener 99-88 two nights ago. The Warriors hoped to take a two-game lead to San Francisco without the two-time MVP in the rematch.

The Timberwolves, who vowed to do better following the loss in Game 1, came out scorching hot. They raced to a 13-0 lead after five minutes behind Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels and Mike Conley. The home team hardly let up in the pounding of the Warriors to lead 29-15 after the first 12 minutes ended.

Minnesota continued to dominate the Warriors, but a play midway through the second quarter could change the series. Anthony Edwards went down with what a left ankle sprain. Edwards gingerly stood up to walk to the locker room with help from trainers. The Timberwolves held a 56-39 advantage heading into the halftime break.

The Warriors stormed out of the gates to open the second half and cut Minnesota's lead to 65-58 midway through the third quarter. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch refused to call a timeout, trusting his players to find ways to stop the Warriors' onslaught. Minnesota responded with an 11-0 blast to regain control of the game.

The Warriors and the Timberwolves traded baskets early in the fourth quarter. Anthony Edwards, who returned from a sprained left ankle, scored 11 points in the final 12 minutes to carry his team to a 117-93 win.
