Anthony Edwards had 20 points, nine rebounds, five assists and three steals for a Minnesota team that never trailed. In fact, Minnesota jumped out to a 13-0 lead and even led by double digits for the final 40 minutes and 32 seconds of the game.

The Warriors simply haven't looked like the Warriors without Curry, and the situation has only energized the Timberwolves, especially on the defensive end. Minnesota finished the regular season sixth in defensive rating, and it is holding Curry's squad down in submission.

Calling the situation "a gut punch," Stephen Curry knows he has to be careful and can't rush his return given the "tricky" nature of hamstring injuries.
