Jimmy Butler had 33 points, 7 assists, and 7 rebounds and Jonathan Kuminga scored 30 off the bench, but the Warriors lacked without Curry, who's nursing a strained left hamstring.

The Golden State Warriors began their Western Conference semifinals on a strong note with a victory but quickly gave up their advantage by losing Game 2. With the series now tied, the upcoming Game 3 is crucial for Stephen Curry and the Warriors to keep their championship dreams alive.
