The result was Minnesota racing out to a 13-0 lead to open the game and never looking back, cruising to a 117-93 win, tying the series at 1-1. Game 3 is in the Bay Area on Saturday. The Warriors are expected to be without Stephen Curry for that game as he recovers from a strained hamstring (he will be re-evaluated after Game 4).

the plays looked the same, but without Steph Curry, out with an injury, greasing the wheels with all-time great shotmaking, the Warriors offense sputtered. Meanwhile, the defense was unable to withstand Minnesota’s potent shooting in a 117-93 blowout at Target Center.
