The Golden State Warriors pulled off a win that was equal parts impressive and concerning on Tuesday night, beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 99-88 in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals. It was a dominant defensive performance, and an incredible statement to steal Game 1, on the road, against a well-rested team, while down a key player. But down a key player they are, as they lost Steph Curry to a hamstring injury that will almost surely keep him out of Game 2, at a minimum.
Here’s how Warriors fans reacted to the highs and the lows, as seen through live comments from the Golden State of Mind game thread.
