The Minnesota Timberwolves face the Golden State Warriors on Thursday with a chance of going down 2-0 in the Western Conference semifinals.
The Warriors won the opening game 99-89 on Tuesday behind 24 points from Buddy Hield, while Jimmy Butler III had 20 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.
Stephen Curry exited that game because of an injury and was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain Wednesday. He underwent an MRI and will be reevaluated in one week, the Warriors said.
