The Minnesota Timberwolves have taken a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals series against the Golden State Warriors, who were previously up 1-0. The Timberwolves have all the advantage in the world, as the Warriors will be playing for the majority of the series without Stephen Curry, and he is expected to be out of the lineup at least until Game 6. So the question to be asked is, can the Timberwolves take a commanding 3-1 lead over the Warriors tonight? Let’s find out.<\/p>
The Warriors fought hard in their last game even without their franchise player, Stephen Curry, in the game. Playoff Jimmy showed up last game and dropped 33 points in Game 3. Their game plan was to give the ball to Butler, and make him drive down the lane almost every possession which resulted in a lot of foul calls and scoring in the paint. Jonathan Kuminga played significant minutes last game, as he dropped 30 points to help the Warriors stay in the game. However, in the end, the Timberwolves rallied past them and took a 2-1 lead.<\/p>
