With the win, the Timberwolves take a 2-1 lead in the series. The team rebounded from an ugly game 1 loss and responded with back-to-back wins. And with Curry out for some time, they certainly need to take advantage of the situation. They play one more game away before heading back home. We’ll see if they can end this series back there in Game 5.
Meanwhile, Warriors now trail 1-2 in this series. While they managed to get by in Game 1 without Steph Curry, it’ becoming clear that they can’t win the series without him. The offense isn’t as effective, and they can’t keep up with the Wolves. But they still have one more game at home. Perhaps they can tie it back up before heading back to Minnesota. We’ll see if they can do so in Game 4 and beyond.
