US EditionEdwards, Randle lead Timberwolves past Warriors 102-97 for 2-1 lead in second-round playoff series
- The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a 102-97 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday evening in San Francisco, gaining a 2-1 advantage in their Western Conference semifinal matchup.
- The Warriors played without injured Stephen Curry, who strained his left hamstring early in the series, and faced challenges as a result of his absence throughout Game 3.
- Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards led scoring with 36 points including a key go-ahead three-pointer, while Jimmy Butler contributed 33 points with seven assists and rebounds in a vintage playoff performance.
- Golden State struggled offensively, missing all five first-half three-pointers and relying on Jonathan Kuminga’s 33 points off the bench, yet the team’s inability to secure loose balls and Draymond Green’s fourth-quarter foul out contributed to their loss.
- Coach Steve Kerr emphasized the need for defensive stops in Game 4 on Monday, while Warriors players remained confident they can compete despite Curry’s injury and seek to even the series with contributions from Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski.
