The Warriors visited the Timberwolves in the NBA playoffs Western Conference semifinals G1 on the 7th, although they defeated the Timberwolves 99-88 to take the lead in the series, but Curry, the first brother in charge, retired with an injury in the second quarter and may not be able to play in the next game. Butler, who carried the team in the second half today, couldn't help but sigh when asked what he learned in this game, Curry is the strongest player on the team, and everything will be much easier with him.

Curry pulled his left leg in the second quarter of the lead and left the court today and did not return to the court, and is expected to be examined again tomorrow, but may not be available in Game 2.

Although the Warriors almost maintained the lead all the way today, they were counterattacked by the Timberwolves many times in the final quarter, and relied on Hield and Butler to stabilize the game and win the first win of the series.

Butler put up 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists today, and was asked after the game what he learned in this game. "Curry is our best player, and if he's there it makes everything a lot easier," he said. However, Warriors coach Steve Kerr gave Butler credit for giving the ball to him in the fourth quarter today to keep the advantage, "Butler is as good as the stars in the league at reading the game and mastering the rhythm." ”
