Although the Warriors won the West Semis opener on Tuesday, they could not fully enjoy the road victory. That’s because they had a bigger concern to worry about, one that puts their season in serious jeopardy. Stephen Curry suffered a Grade 1 left hamstring strain that forced him to miss the entire second half. Even worse, he is now sidelined for at least a week, which means the earliest he can return is Game 5. Sure enough, the Warriors felt the effect of Curry’s absence tonight.
Without their primary scorer, the Bay Area team got dominated by the Timberwolves in Game 2. It was a 24-point blowout win for Anthony Edwards and Co., bringing the series back to level terms. Now, the series heads to the Bay Area for the next two games, and Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal had a message for Steve Kerr’s squad amid the Steph setback, “I think Golden State will come with a little more energy when they get home.” The Lakers legend expects the Warriors to shake off tonight’s loss and come out with more energy on their home court.
