Game #2 – Second Round Playoffs, GSW leads series 1-0
Matchup Breakdown:
The Golden State Warriors secured a 99–88 victory in Game 1, despite losing Stephen Curry early in the second quarter due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. Curry is expected to miss at least a week, sidelining him for Games 2 through 4. In his absence, Buddy Hield led the team with 24 points, while Jimmy Butler contributed 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists. Draymond Green added 18 points and 6 rebounds, playing a pivotal role in maintaining the team's momentum.
The Minnesota Timberwolves struggled offensively in Game 1, shooting just 5-for-29 from beyond the arc. Anthony Edwards, after a slow start, finished with 23 points, but the team was unable to overcome the Warriors' defense. The Timberwolves will need to improve their shooting efficiency and capitalize on Curry's absence to even the series.
I think the T’Wolves will get the win here, but so far the playoffs have been super hard to predict.
