On May 7, the last G1 of the second round officially kicked off. The Warriors, who ranked 7 in the West, challenged the Timberwolves, who ranked 6 in the West, away. With the key goals of Butler and Hilder in the last quarter, the Warriors destroyed the Timberwolves' counterattack without Curry, and won the first goal in the series. Another game of low-bumping is over, and the first game of this round ended. In addition, the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers, the Knicks defeated the Celtics, the Nuggets defeated the Thunder, all 4 groups of dialogues were lower-bumping, which is the first time in NBA history!

Reviewing this game, Curry's accidental injury made the fans feel distressed. After returning to about 9 minutes of the second quarter, Curry felt discomfort in his legs after completing a throw. He touched the back of his thigh and continued to grit his teeth. Finally, he had no choice but to signal to be replaced. He then returned to the locker room for diagnosis. The Warriors official also immediately updated Curry's injury, saying that Curry had a strained left hamstring and withdrew from the game.

According to Bay Area medical expert Dr. Evan Jeffries, social media, according to the degree of injury, a first-degree hamstring strain requires 7-10 days to recover, while a second-degree hamstring strain requires 3-6 weeks to recover. Generally, it also takes 12 days. So, no matter what the result is, the Warriors must be prepared for this round of the series without Curry.

However, after Curry withdrew from the game, the Warriors became more and more brave. Hilder stood up in the third quarter with 0 of 7 in the first half, 16 points in a single quarter helped the Warriors lead the Timberwolves by 20 points at the end of the third quarter. In the last quarter, the Timberwolves regained their feelings on the offensive end. Gobert had a deterrent effect on the defensive end, but at the critical moment, the Warriors had Butler to help the Warriors stabilize their advantage, and the final score was frozen at 99-88. After the game, the domestic media were also impressed by the combat effectiveness shown by the Warriors, and the praise was beyond words. Su Qun updated his Weibo and said, "The Warriors really won. The Timberwolves played too chaotic and did not play their inside advantage. Kerr showed courage in the rotation of 13 players. Butler is really a thigh. Hilder is another Curry. The Warriors must be prepared. The next game is likely to be 1-1. The series will be very long." The Warriors really tried their best in this game. Without Curry in the third quarter, substitute Spencer made contributions from the bench and made 4 three-pointers. Hilder was possessed in the second half. Butler scored a final decision at a critical moment... Who can not love such a Warrior?

American journalist Sam Ferris praised the two and stepped on the first one, "You saw the Warriors' extraordinaryness, and turned around and found that the Rockets were not as bad as they thought. The Lakers, who are Doncic, were not as good as they thought." The Timberwolves eliminated the Warriors 4-1 in the first round, and the Rockets and Warriors fought to tiebreak. Edwards was just 1 of 8 in the first half. It can't blame Jaylen Green for not playing well, which can only prove how good the Warriors' defense is.

commentator Wang Meng said, "The Warriors will still count on Hilder and Butler in the next game. Today, the Warriors gave the Timberwolves a different defensive experience, which is something the Lakers do not have."

media person Xu Jingyu updated his Weibo and questioned how the Lakers lost? The Timberwolves are now being beaten up by the Warriors. Butler is really tough. Chasing dreams is the DPOY in his heart. As long as Curry's injury does not have to take more than 7 games off, the Warriors' prospects for the championship this year will become clearer and brighter!

After all, the Warriors now have the initiative, and the only thing that is worrying is Curry's injury. After the game, Cole said, "Curry has to wait for tomorrow's MRI results. He won't play in the next G2 game, and I hope he is fine." In the midfield, Cole also communicated with Curry, who expressed his frustration. Combined with internal news from medical experts and the Warriors, all signs show that Curry's injury is unclear, just like the Nets' appearance that year. I hope Curry will recover well, never force his return, and don't repeat Harden's mistakes - he lost the game, and his injury has worsened. In addition, Durant's situation in 2019 is also a lesson for the past.
