The Golden State Warriors began their Western Conference semifinals on a strong note with a victory but quickly gave up their advantage by losing Game 2. With the series now tied, the upcoming Game 3 is crucial for Stephen Curry and the Warriors to keep their championship dreams alive.

Without their superstar Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors were no match for a ferocious Minnesota Timberwolves team that leveled the NBA Playoff series 1-1 in a dominant 117-93 victory.

This series nearly became the Warriors without Stephen Curry against the Timberwolves without Anthony Edwards.
