The Golden State Warriors are facing a significant challenge in their playoff campaign following Stephen Curry's injury during their series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite winning Game 1 99-88, the Warriors struggled in Game 2 without Curry's dynamic presence. During the game, they celebrated Draymond Green's milestone, as he surpassed Dennis Johnson for 14th place on the all-time playoff assists list. Green currently has 1,007 playoff assists, highlighting his vital role in the team's structure.

As the Warriors navigate their playoff journey, Green's performance remains critical, especially with his average of 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.6 assists this season. While he was a finalist for the Defensive Player of the Year award, the team's success hinges on how they adjust to the loss of Curry and how Green steps up in this high-stakes environment.
