The Minnesota Timberwolves bounced back emphatically in Game 2 of their playoff series against the Golden State Warriors, winning 117-93. After a disappointing Game 1, the Timberwolves demonstrated determination and resilience, scoring the first 13 points and maintaining a commanding lead throughout the match. Anthony Edwards played through an ankle injury, contributing 20 points, while Julius Randle led the team with 24 points and 11 assists.

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch's tough-love coaching style paid dividends as players like Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jaden McDaniels stepped up significantly. Alexander-Walker added 20 points off the bench, showcasing a return to form after struggles earlier in the postseason. The Timberwolves’ three-point shooting improved dramatically, helping them establish a solid offensive rhythm.

The absence of Stephen Curry for the Warriors due to a hamstring strain was a crucial factor, and the Timberwolves capitalized on this opportunity. Heading into Game 3, the Timberwolves aim to maintain their momentum and replicate their performance against a Warriors team still searching for answers without their star guard.
