Timberwolves capitalize on Steph Curry's absence to tie second-round series

Julius Randle had 24 points and 11 assists to lead the Timberwolves of Minnesota through another unequal performance, this time taking advantage of the absence of Golden State Stephen Curry in a 117-93 victory on Thursday that game Gamece.

Anthony Edwards ended 20 points after a scare of injuries for the Wolves, which tripled its production of 3 points (going 16 by 37) of its defeat of game 1 when Curry was marginalized by an Etact Thastring LFT tension in the last place.

Edwards his ankle in a tray attempt in the middle of the second quarter, and immediately came out of the game. He remained until the end of the second quarter, but returned to the beginning of the third and ended with 20 points and nine rebounds.

With the 3 leading 3 -point shooter in his NBA career sitting next to him at the bank, coach Steve Kerr used the kitchen strategy with 14 players who included the time that included the boxes of a baker in the first 14 minutes.

Jonathan Kuminga (18 points) and Trayce Jackson-Davis (15 points) combined to shoot 14 by 17 from the floor for the Warriors, who play almost five minutes to score until Triple by Jimmy Butler stopped the 13-0 race for the game.

Kumina, the seventh general selection in the 2021 draft that abandoned the rotation sometimes the regular season, was a brilliant point from the bank. But this Warriors team was already thin in the offensive of a healthy curry.

Against the wolves and their athletic, long and versatile defense, there was a bit to rely on. Without curry of what worry, the wolves had more capacity to keep the shooters that Buddy Held and Brandin Podziemski shut up and the soft and intelligent Butler under control.

The Warriors put their lowest score of the first quarter (15) in the playoffs from game 6 of the 2016 NBA finals, Chordination to Sportradar, when they had 11 in a defeat against Cleveland.

Dramond Green picked up his fifth technique of the playoffs, two shorts or an automatic suspension of a game, for the Naz Reid codo after Reid had committed a foul. Green was hot on the call, continuing to shouting officer Tony Brothers. Curry was worried enough that his friend was expelled that he went to the scorer’s table to try to talk about Green and walk him back to the bank.
