In this game, Curry, the leader of the Warriors, was unable to play because of a muscle strain on his left leg in the last game.

And such a home matchup is not to be lost for the Timberwolves. After all, they are already behind 0-1 with a big score. If they lose this game again, the subsequent game will be very difficult.

The first quarter started, and the Timberwolves took the lead in picking the ball, and McDaniels scored three-pointer to the team. The Timberwolves played very resolutely on the offensive end today, and they played a good shot 13-0. The Warriors who lack Curry were only all players who were confused from the game, and they were very slow to enter the game, constantly missed people on the defensive end, and were repeatedly strong on the offensive end. At the beginning of 5 minutes, they did not score a goal. In the middle of this quarter, Butler scored 5 points in a row and temporarily stopped the bleeding, but the rest of the Warriors' offense was still sluggish. Then the Timberwolves made another 12-2 wave to widen the gap to 18 points. In the end, the Timberwolves led by 29-15 and entered the second quarter with 14 points.

The Timberwolves still maintained a sharp offensive rhythm in the second quarter, and with a 9-3 wave in the middle, widened the score gap between the two teams to 20 points. At the end of the Warriors' quarter, Kumingga, who came on as a substitute, stood up and the inside and outside lines were blooming, helping the team to catch the score difference to 15 points. In this quarter, Timberwolves main player Edwards was injured in an accident, which also laid a question mark for the game. If Edwards doesn't play in the second half, will the Timberwolves continue to maintain such an advantage? Will the Warriors turn the tables?

The third quarter: Huazi is really a tough guy. Just pretend that everyone thinks he will probably not come back, he stands on the field of the game again. In this quarter, Kumingga continued to be in a hot state at the end of the previous quarter, and made consecutive attempts. The Warriors also played 13-3, narrowing the gap between the two teams to 7 points. But then the Warriors fell into power outage mode again, and the particles were not harvested for 4 minutes. The Timberwolves took this opportunity to score 11 points in a row, widening the gap between the two teams to 18 points again. At the last moment of this quarter, the Timberwolves Walker's three-pointer helped the team widen the gap to 20 points.

Fourth quarter: Reed's three-pointer helped the Timberwolves lead by 22 points. The Warriors then replaced all their starters and replaced them with a substitute lineup. Soon after, the Timberwolves also replaced the starter. In the subsequent game, the Timberwolves maintained a lead of about 15 points.

The final game ended, with the Warriors 93 points, the Timberwolves 117 points, the Timberwolves won 24 points, and they also tied the total score by 1-1. Now the two teams have returned to the same starting line.

After the game, Cole was interviewed and talked about the 14-point rotation adopted by the Warriors in the half-time game: I think part of the pre-match plan is to get more people on the court, and we did. I think we sent 13/14 players in the first half. Part of the reason is obviously avoiding fatigue, you know, we've been through so many journeys and races. But another part of the reason is that we have to figure out what we can do in this series without a full lineup. So I gave a lot of opportunities.

Then Cole said, "You know, some people did stand up. TJD and Kumingga performed well in this game. You can see that their athleticism is important. I think we played a very imposing offensive and chased the gap to 7 points. But then we scolded us a little bit and lost our calmness. After the timeout, we made mistakes in a row and made several three-pointers. But we learned a lot, and I think this game will help us figure out how to keep moving forward."

Finally, Cole said: I don't want Zhu Meng and Butler to overdraw, and I won't force this victory unless I'm sure I'm sure.

Most of the fans were positive about Cole's post-match speech. Many people thought that letting go of this game and returning to home to hold at least one game, which should be what they thought.

Someone directly said: Cole still has a pattern, and it is indeed not a single game to determine the winner and lose. It’s still a long time.
