The Golden State Warriors lost Stephen Curry but won Game 1 of their second-round NBA playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. Curry exited early in the second quarter, did not return and is expected to miss a week after an MRI revealed a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Curry will definitely miss Thursday's Game 2 in Minnesota.

The Golden State Warriors beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 99-88 in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Tuesday. They did that despite the fact that Stephen Curry left the game early with a hamstring injury that could also keep him out of Game 2. While that may worry Golden State fans, ESPN's Jay Williams isn't concerned.

Coach Chris Finch called out Anthony Edwards for his performance. “You’re the leader of the team,” he said. “You’ve got to come out and set the tone.”

After a brutal opening defeat in this second-round series, Minnesota head coach Chris Finch pulled no punches.

Anthony Edwards struggled in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, and that led to Minnesota coach Chris Finch taking him to task for his lack of energy, especially in the first half of its 11-point loss to Golden State.
