Without their superstar Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors were no match for a ferocious Minnesota Timberwolves team that leveled the NBA Playoff series 1-1 in a dominant 117-93 victory.

Curry, who sustained a Grade 1 hamstring injury during Game 1 of Golden State's Western Conference semifinals against Minnesota, is out for at least a week, perhaps longer.

The second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs are off to a raucous start. The Indiana Pacers are up 2-0 on the East's first-place Cleveland Cavaliers. They, the Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks have all beaten the higher-seeded teams with remarkable comebacks.
