With the second-round playoff series between the Warriors and Timberwolves all tied up at 1-1, a pivotal Game 3 will tip off on Saturday in San Francisco. Golden State will be looking for a bounce-back performance, while Minnesota will attempt to carry over the momentum from its 117-93 victory on Thursday.
The Dubs will be without Stephen Curry, who is out through at least Game 4 of the series with a hamstring injury. They do, however, still have Jimmy Butler, Buddy Hield and Draymond Green, all of whom can propel Steve Kerr’s team to a Chase Center win.
The Wolves will have something to say about that, though. Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle combined for 44 points, 16 rebounds and 16 assists in Game 2, while Jaden McDaniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker combined for 36 points.
