This series nearly became the Warriors without Stephen Curry against the Timberwolves without Anthony Edwards.

In Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Minnesota had full control over Golden State, having a lead as large as 25 points. The Timberwolves didn't come away without an injury scare, however, as star shooting guard Anthony Edwards went down in the second quarter with an ankle injury.

In the first half against the Warriors in Game 2, Edwards tallied seven points with four rebounds and three assists in 15 minutes.
