The Golden State Warriors made a major statement in Wednesday night's Game 1 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals. In a game that saw Warriors star Stephen Curry exit early due to a hamstring injury, they still stayed in control, winning 99-88.

The Timberwolves got 23 points and 14 rebounds from their own superstar, shooting guard Anthony Edwards, but a poor first half doomed Minnesota in their hometown arena as Golden State jumped out to a 44-31 halftime lead. After the game, Edwards was debriefed on a horrifying statistic that caused his jaw to drop on press row in Minneapolis.
