In the quarter -final series in the west of the North American basketball league, Minnesota is 1-1 against Golden State. The Warriors have big problems on the offensive without their superstar Steph Curry.
Without their injured superstar Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors game lost two of the Western Conference Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Minnesota thus turned 1-1 in the series after Golden State had won the first duel on Tuesday. The next game in the fight for the long -distance destination championship increases in the night from Saturday to Sunday German.
“We try to find out what we can achieve in this series without Steph, so we gave many players many opportunities,” said Golden State coach State coach Steve Kerr, who was forced to change in his line-up due to curries.
And yet the Warriors were inferior to the offensive without a curry without their eleven-time all-star players in the night of Friday German time, precisely because they did not find a real solution on the offensive without a curry. Co-star Jimmy Butler only got 17 points. Draymond Green even remained only single -digit with nine points. Even the surprising 18 points from Jonathan Kuminga and the 15 points of role players Trayce Jackson-Davis didn’t help.

His team-mates Anthony Edwards and the Nickeil Alexander Walker, who came from the bank, scored 20 points, the latter achieved four three.
Curry: injury “a blow to the stomach”
Despite the bitter defeat, the Warriors still have the series fully in their own hands due to the away win in game one. There are now two home games.
However, the warriors are expected to do without curry. The 37-year-old had suffered a “thigh strain on the first degree” in game one (99:88); He was forecast a downtime of at least one week.
The superstar himself showed extremely frustrated about his injury. This is “a blow to the stomach”, but it must now be careful because his injury is very “complicated”.
“This is a new situation for me and I try to learn how quickly I can come back. Unfortunately, there is no healing process so far,” Curry described his situation: “That’s why I have to wait and see in just under a week how it developed.”
“I have to see when it could be safe to play or burden my leg more at all,” said Curry. His own forecast does not currently sound positive.
