The Minnesota Timberwolves did what they needed to do. They beat the Golden State Warriors 117-93 in Game 2 on Thursday, tying the Western Conference semifinals series 1-1.
The Timberwolves also appeared to have avoided a problematic injury to All-Star Anthony Edwards, who sprained his ankle in the second quarter, was listed as questionable to return but started the third quarter and played normal minutes.
Now, can the Warriors – as the series shifts to San Francisco for Games 3-4 – do what they need to do and find a way to extend the series until Steph Curry can return from the left hamstring strain he sustained in Game 1?
