00:00DRS after Steph Curry was injured early in the second quarter in game number one of the conference semifinal series between the Warriors and the Timberwolves out west.
00:10There was no doubt that Golden State was behind the eight ball in Minnesota now needed to take advantage despite dropping that opening game of this second round set.
00:19The Timberwolves without Steph Curry on the other side for the Dubs did exactly that completing the gentleman's sweep last night at home in the Twin Cities winning by 11 as Donnie mentioned this line was 11 and a half 11 points for a good majority of yesterday close closer to 10 10 and a half or 10 points in favor of the Timberwolves.
00:40Minnesota wins by 11 121 110 and Minnesota DRS held a 21 point lead entering that fourth quarter.
00:49Now the Dubs did cut it to a single digit deficit with a little bit more than seven minutes remaining but the Warriors fight without Steph Curry was pretty much that trying to claw closer but never really able to overcome it.
01:03The Timberwolves win in five games to advance to the Western Conference finals for a second straight year.
01:09Look at that four one four one there to five game sets here for the Minnesota Timberwolves don't have to get those high leverage game six and game sevens in get some rest here before the Western Conference finals.
01:19They're a fun brand of basketball to watch.
01:20It'll just be more interesting when they line up against a team that's full gas like the expectations would be end or Denver and probably more likely OKC.
01:28But I told you yesterday on the show if you are looking at the Golden State Warriors and you want to extend this series because you saw the talk all game long you know the reporters and the cameras all in Steph Curry hey outside chance this game gets back he's working hard he's rehabbing around the clock.
01:42Who knows if he would have come and come back but that was your angle to sort of motivate the Golden State Warriors hey man let's win a game and see if we can get Steph back and then really see what happens.
01:50But my talking points yesterday were Jimmy Butler you're required to be an alpha dog you were not an alpha dog in this series you were not an alpha dog yesterday when your team needed you the most with 17 points you had to be in the mid 20s easily hitting your points prop guy number two in that lineup is buddy healed.
02:05I said you can't escape this game without getting secondary help which includes buddy healed must hit his points prop total yesterday and drop multiple three point shots.
02:14Yeah he responds oh well four from three point range with eight total points I get it Pujemski stepped up 28 points in Kaminga on the bench 26 you needed more of an effort from those guys in the starting lineup to hang around but again you're just not that talented Golden State without Steph and you take a look at the Minnesota Timberwolves they're healthy they're more talented and all they did was close you out win basketball games once your superstar went down which is a sign of a very good basketball team.
