Timberwolves 117, Warriors 93: Got the Job Done
There is no such thing as a must-win Game 2, but this one was about as close as you can get for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The first game of this series against the Golden State Warriors went about as poorly as imaginable, but the tenor of the series changed when it was announced that Stephen Curry would miss at least a week with a hamstring injury.
After missing their first 16 3-pointers of Game 1, the Timberwolves could use a better shooting night, and they got exactly that with Jaden McDaniels and Mike Conley knocking down shots from beyond the arc to start the game.
