Minnesota blasted Golden State in Game 2, and Butler didn't seem terribly interested in, if even capable of, doing much about it

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.

The Golden State Warriors are looking to take a quick two-game lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves after a strong defensive win in Game 1. Despite being the road team, the Warriors showed their depth and held off the Timberwolves, 99-88.
