NBA playoffs continued, and the game between the G1 Warriors in the Western Conference semi-finals challenged the Timberwolves was over. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves 11 points in the absence of Curry, achieving a good start to the series. The trend and results of the game were somewhat unexpected, especially some players were in no state during the game, and Curry's injury on the Warriors also attracted the attention of the outside world. His injury was further updated after the game. It is worth noting that the Timberwolves head coach Finch expressed his dissatisfaction with Edwards' condition in this game after the game. Edwards responded but his remarks caused controversy. After the Warriors won: Cole officially announced Curry, Butler praised Hield, and Huazi responded to Finch's remarks.

Edwards was in a bad state in this game. He only scored one point in the first half of the game 0 of 8 shots, but fortunately, his condition began to recover. 9 of 22 shots in the whole game, and 5 out of the three-point line scored 23 points, rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 blocked data. There were three mistakes. After the game, Timberwolves head coach Finch said in an interview: Everything started with Edwards. He became increasingly in a state after falling into trouble at the beginning. It is obvious that he attributed the team's strength to Edwards' sluggish state in the first half.

Huazi responded to this, saying that I think I am very good on the defensive end, but I rarely do it on the offensive end. Obviously, the remarks of the head coach and the star after the game are not good news for a team that is 0:1 behind in the series. We will wait and see how the Timberwolves will adjust in the future and whether G2 can perform well.

After Curry was injured and retreated, many players in the team stood up. In the second quarter, they got double-digit data and made consecutive hits outside the three-point line. In the third quarter, Hilde's three-point line felt warmer. With all the first eight shots lost, he scored 16 points in 6 of 9 in the third quarter, helping the Warriors expand their lead to more than 20. After the top score of positive and negative values ​​of positive and negative values ​​in the whole game, Hilder's performance also made many players in the team praise him.

Butler talked about Hilder in an interview after the game, and he said hey, you played another good goal, except for that dressing mistake. It has to be said that Hilder performed very well in this game, and both Butler and Green also performed well. Butler has scored at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in three consecutive playoff games, second only to Curry and Durant. Green also set a record for a high of active players, with his G1 record in the series of G1 with a winning rate of 77.4%, the highest among active players.

Of course, the key factor that ultimately affects the trend of the Warriors in this series is Curry's injury. After the game, the Warriors reported with the team reporter that Curry was obviously limping when he left the locker room. The injury given is currently a strain of the left hamstring. How serious is it? I still have to wait for the next MMI test? Head coach Cole responded to Curry's injury in an interview. He said he planned to let Curry miss the G2, but was not sure, and Cole also mentioned that it would be difficult to play with a hamstring injury.

For the Warriors, they should try to delay the series longer in this round of the series and give Curry more time to recover from injuries. Earlier, according to medical experts, the average diagnosis time for first-degree hamstring strain is generally 10 days, the average diagnosis time for second-degree hamstring strain is generally 12 days. Although they took the lead 1:0, the outcome of Game 2 is crucial for them. It depends on how Cole adjusts in the next game; whether the team's Green, Butler and Hilder can continue their good form to help the team win another goal, we will wait and see.
