On May 11, in the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 102-97 away, and the series score reached 2-1.

In the first two games of the two teams, the two teams each won a victory, so the big score reached 1-1. Curry continued to miss this game due to injury. Cole changed the starting lineup again, allowing Davis Jr. to replace Post as the starting lineup. The team gave up the outside three-pointer and focused on the inside offense. When Curry may be missing for a while, all the Warriors need to do is to work hard to extend this round of series and strive to wait for Curry to come back.

In the first quarter, the Timberwolves scored 16-8 at the beginning to take the lead. Then Butler began to take over the Warriors' offense. He held the ball continuously to hit the inside to score points. After Kuming came, he relied on his talent to crush the Timberwolves' inside. The two players teamed up to score 17 points in the first quarter and led the team to successfully tie the score at the end of the quarter. After the first quarter, the two teams tied until 21.

In the second quarter, the two teams began to make wild blackshots. Edwards made 0 of 4 shots in a single quarter and scored only 1 point. The team also made a poor shooting percentage of 7 of 21 shots in a single quarter, and made 5 mistakes. They only scored 19 points in the entire second quarter. The Warriors continued to rely on Butler and Cuminga's performance. They scored 21 points in a single quarter. After the half-time game, the Warriors led the Timberwolves by 2 points.

Coming to the third quarter, the Warriors always maintained a weak lead. When the Timberwolves scored a goal, they always responded. Butler and Kumingga joined forces to score 18 points in a single quarter, while Podjemsky and Hilder jointly made 4 three-pointers. The Warriors opened on the offensive end and once again scored 2 points in a single quarter. After the first three quarters, the Warriors led the Timberwolves by 4 points.

In the last quarter, Edwards suddenly broke out. He scored 8 points in a row and led the team to score a 17-9 offense and overtake the Warriors for 4 points. Then Zhu Meng Green committed 6 times, and Gobert scored 4 points in a row at the basket. Although Hilde responded with three-pointers, with Edwards' three-pointer in the middle of the corner, the game also lost suspense. The Timberwolves won the Warriors away and the team won another goal.

After losing G1, the Timberwolves won two consecutive games, and the big score in this round of series also reached 2-1. The Timberwolves successfully overtake the score. They have regained their home advantage. The next thing depends on whether they can win the G4 without Curry's absence. If they can win, they will get the match point in this round of series. It is almost difficult for the Warriors to reverse, and even if Curry returns, it will be difficult for them to do it. Now this round of series is quite beneficial to the Timberwolves, they have taken the initiative, and the Warriors need to find a way to win when Curry is absent, leaving them with little time to adjust.
