1:0 starts well! Warriors G1 kills wolves, 4 players perform perfectly, Curry s hamstring injury becomes a hidden danger

On May 7, 2025, today's NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the Cavaliers were once again defeated by Harry Potterton at home with a 1+3 win. I missed two games at home and was currently behind the top in the Eastern Conference with a big score of 0:2. It is really hard to understand how bad the performance was. In the four matches between the East and West, the visiting team won their first victory in the first three games, and the Warriors also had the chance to achieve this feat today. The Warriors only had one day off after the tiebreak battle with the Rockets. The physical fitness of the main players was significantly tested, but their experience was their magic weapon to save themselves.

The Warriors played away against the Timberwolves today. The Timberwolves had been resting for several days after eliminating the Lakers 4:1, and the Timberwolves' core members are younger than the Warriors. He has a physical advantage at home and can be said to have the best time, place, and people. Logically speaking, the Warriors must be quite passive in this game. But with Curry and Dream Green and other veterans here, everything becomes possible. The Warriors firmly suppressed the Timberwolves and performed perfect offensive and defensive performance. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves 99:88.

match situation, the Warriors played 18:20 in the first quarter, and the two teams were not slow. In the second quarter, the Warriors stretched the intensity of both offense and defense, winning 15 points in a single quarter 26:11. After halftime, the Warriors led by 13 points 44:31. Under the defense of the Warriors, the Timberwolves scored only 31 points in the first half, setting a new record for half-time scoring for all teams in the regular season and playoffs this season. It seems that the Warriors are not troubled by physical fitness. They are still full of motivation on the defensive end. Coach Kerr sent five small lineups of Green, Curry, Butler, Pojemsky and Hield, with excellent results. Facing the Timberwolves' two major inside players Gobert and Randall, Coach Cole did not use a pure center and also gave it a try. At the end of the half-time game, Warriors Curry and Green performed perfectly. The Warriors led 29:22 in rebounding. Most noteworthy is that they made 9 of 20 three-pointers and shot up to 45%. The Timberwolves' three-point shooting percentage was 0%, and they failed to score a single goal with 15 shots, which is incredible. Curry played for 12 minutes, made 5 of 9 shots, and made 3 of 6 three-pointers, efficiently scoring 13 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. However, in the second quarter, he left the court with a hamstring injury, which made the fans feel heartbroken. Veteran Green became the winner on the court. He played for 17 minutes, made 6 of 8 shots, and made 4 of 6 three-pointers, effectively scoring 16 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Jimmy Butler played for 20 minutes, made 2 of 7 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws, contributing 6 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals, plus or negative values ​​+21, second only to Hilder. Hilder played 18 minutes in the first half, making 0 of 7 shots and only 2 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Compared with the tiebreak battle against the Rockets, he scored 33 points and 9 three-pointers, it is incomparable. Strangely, his plus-negative value +22 is the highest in the game. Podjemsky scored 3 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Pedden scored 5 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist in the second world, and Rooney scored 2 points and 2 rebounds. Edwards, opposite the Warriors lost himself in the halftime under the iron-blooded defense of the Warriors, just like Jaylen Green of the Rockets. Jaylen Green really can wake up laughing when she falls asleep. It seems that it is not Jaylen Green who has poor offense, but the Warriors' defense is too strong. Edwards played for 20 minutes in the first half, made 0 of 9 shots and 0 of 3 three-pointers. He made 1 of 2 free throws, contributing only 1 point, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. His downturn is the key to the Timberwolves' offense.

Another guard, Conley, also made zero three shots, contributing only 1 rebound. Compared with the Warriors guard, it can be said that he was completely defeated. Power forward Randle scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, which is also considered to be fair. McDaniels made 3 of 7 shots and scored 6 points and 2 rebounds. Gobert is still a mainstay in the interior, scoring 6 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first half. Another inside player Reed scored 6 points and 4 rebounds, but he sprained his ankle.

The third quarter changed sides and then fought again. Curry, the core of the Warriors, did not play in the remaining games due to a hamstring injury. The Warriors scored a 14:7 offensive climax at 8 minutes and 17 seconds, and the score became 58:38, leading directly 20 points. It seems that the Warriors can still find a way to defeat the Timberwolves. I hope Curry is not seriously injured and can play in the subsequent games, otherwise the Warriors will be quite dangerous even if they win the first victory.

2, the Warriors performed well in this game.

Curry doesn't need to be repeated, it's a good game. Green performed outstandingly in this game, maintaining comprehensiveness while strong firepower on the offensive end, and scored 14 points in a single quarter in the second quarter. He played 35 minutes in the game, made 6 of 13 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 18 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, with a plus-negative value of +11. He became the second player in history to score 1,000 assists and 200 blocks in the playoffs, comparable to James.

Hilde performed very well. In the first half, he made 0 of 7 shots and scored 16 points in the third quarter. In the end, Hilder played for 39 minutes, made 7 of 19 shots, made 5 of 8 three-pointers, and made 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, plus and negative value +22.

Butler performed well. In this game, 7 of 20 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 20 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

Sister Bo felt poor today. She made 1 of 7 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, scored 3 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, and had 2 turnovers, with a plus-negative value of -1.

Payton Jr. made 3 of 4 shots, contributing 8 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and performed very well; Kumingga made 2 of 5 shots, with only 7 points and 1 rebound, and his performance was average.
