The Minnesota Timberwolves have both an opportunity and a challenge in front of them. On one hand, the Golden State Warriors are without superstar Stephen Curry, making them a considerably worse team. On the other hand, with rumors coming out that Curry could potentially return by game six, Golden State is hanging on to that rugged belief that if they can just hold on long enough, their hero will arrive in the nick of time to save them.
After a pretty one-sided game one for the Warriors and a returned favor in game two, game three was sure to be vital in establishing this series.
