The Minnesota Timberwolves leveled their Western Conference semifinal series against the Golden State Warriors with a commanding 117-93 victory. The absence of Stephen Curry, sidelined by a hamstring strain, played a crucial role, allowing Minnesota to limit Golden State's shooting to 44.7% from the field and 28.1% from beyond the arc while forcing 20 turnovers.

Anthony Edwards bounced back from a lackluster Game 1, scoring 20 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and dishing out five assists, all while battling through an ankle injury. His performance was pivotal in fending off a Warriors rally. Edwards’s interaction with NFL legend Michael Irvin drew significant social media buzz, highlighting his rising star status in the NBA. As the series shifts to San Francisco, the Warriors will be eager for a home advantage, hoping to stabilize the series until Curry's return.
