The Golden State Warriors lost Stephen Curry but won Game 1 of their second-round NBA playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. Curry exited early in the second quarter, did not return and is expected to miss a week after an MRI revealed a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Curry will definitely miss Thursday's Game 2 in Minnesota.

The Golden State Warriors beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 99-88 in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Tuesday. They did that despite the fact that Stephen Curry left the game early with a hamstring injury that could also keep him out of Game 2. While that may worry Golden State fans, ESPN's Jay Williams isn't concerned.

Coach Chris Finch called out Anthony Edwards for his performance. “You’re the leader of the team,” he said. “You’ve got to come out and set the tone.”

The Minnesota Timberwolves had a particularly rough performance in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Golden State Warriors.

Game 1 from the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors series was not what many expected. First of all, the Warriors came off less than 48 hours of rest and looked like the more prepared team.
