Warriors Win Game 1 Against Minnesota, But Curry's Injury Clouds Future

Posted : 07 May 2025

The Golden State Warriors secured a crucial 99-88 victory over Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, but the win was overshadowed by an injury to star player Steph Curry. Curry, who had been playing brilliantly with 13 points before the break, was forced to leave the game after suffering a leg injury in the second quarter.

 

He did not return for the second half, and an initial diagnosis pointed to a hamstring strain. The severity of the injury remains uncertain, and his absence could significantly impact the Warriors' chances in the series.

 

Despite Curry's early exit, the Warriors capitalized on a disastrous second quarter for Minnesota. The Timberwolves managed only 11 points in the period and went into halftime with just 31 points, the lowest score an NBA team has posted against the Warriors in the shot-clock era.

 

 Minnesota's star player, Anthony Edwards, had a rough first half, scoring just one point and missing all eight of his field goal attempts. The team also struggled from three-point range, failing to make any of their 15 attempts before the break.

 

Minnesota showed signs of life in the second half, including a strong fourth quarter that saw them trim the Warriors' lead to single digits. However, Golden State's defense held firm, with key contributions from Buddy Hield, who hit critical three-pointers, and Jimmy Butler, who almost registered a triple-double.

 

The Warriors also benefitted from strong performances from Draymond Green, who added 18 points and 8 rebounds, helping them maintain control of the game despite Curry's absence.

 

The Warriors' victory in Game 1 gives them a valuable early advantage in the series, but Curry's injury casts a shadow over their future prospects. If the star guard is forced to miss additional games, Golden State will need to rely on their depth and resilience to stay competitive.

 

With the series moving quickly, every game becomes crucial, and the next 48 hours will be critical as the Warriors await further medical updates on Curry's condition.
