Warriors are in danger, revealing Curry shed tears in the locker room for the second time, just igniting the passion for the fifth championship

The Timberwolves beat the Warriors without Curry 117-93 in Game 2, and the series was tied.

Wolves took full advantage of the Warriors' lack of Curry, Julius Randle scored 24 points and 11 assists, and Edwards scored 20 points in the game after the Timberwolves suffered injuries, which more than tripled the number of three-pointers (16-for-37) compared to the first game.

As Randall said. "Our team is full of fighting spirit."

Alexander Walker scored 20 points and led the substitutes to perform well, teamed up with Divinchenzo and Naz Reed, making 10 of 22 three-pointers.

Playoff statistics, the Warriors scored 15 points in the first quarter, the lowest since Game 6 of the 2016 NBA Finals, when they scored 11 points in a loss to Cleveland.

After the lack of Curry, the Warriors can be said to be in a downturn, and only Kumingga unexpectedly scored 18 points.

Green received his fifth technical foul in the playoffs due to an elbow hit Reed, which is still two times away from an automatic ban.

Curry is likely to be missing until next week, and is likely to miss at least two games in the future. Although Butler's ability to hold the ball is unquestionable, Curry's value depends more on his running without the ball.

With Curry on the field, at least three defensive players remain mobility at any time. Without Curry's restraint, Butler will find it difficult to get offensive space.

Curry admitted in an interview with the media before the second game of the Target Center that he has not yet determined the specific return date.

When talking about this injury, Curry also admitted that this was the first time he had a hamstring strain. He also clearly realized that there must be a recovery process, and you cannot speed up recovery, and it will not tell you the specific time of recovery.

In a special report published in The Athletic, senior Warriors reporter Marcus Thompson exposed the scene in the Warriors' locker room before the end of the half. Curry was excited and cried due to his injury at the beginning of the second quarter.

Thompson wrote: "Steve Cole, despite his deep thoughts, could not be expressed in words, because he watched the superstar who had coached for 11 seasons, eventually succumbing to suffocating disappointment. When Curry burst into tears, Cole already knew that the heartbreak caused by the sprained left hamstring was still clear. Curry needed not words, and Cole had not had words."

Thompson recalled that after Cole embraced Curry, Curry began to calm down, wiped his tears, posed for bravery, encouraged his teammates, and shared everything he saw.

This is the spiritual realm of a team. Curry suppresses his emotions as much as possible and lets the locker room get out of the downturn, just like Butler's remarks after losing in the second game. Although Curry is not on the court, his enthusiasm for the game is still passed on to every teammate.

Cole described Curry as "collapsed" after the game, and Draymond Green also added that Curry was "disturbed". Because everyone knows that Curry is the Warriors' turret, and if he loses him, the team has no room for breath.

This is not the first time Curry has shed tears in the Warriors locker room this season. According to ESPN reporter Ohm Youngmisuk earlier last week, when the Golden State Warriors traded Jimmy Butler on February 6, Curry realized the serious impact of the deal on the Warriors' playoffs, his eyes were filled with tears.

Once, he was so happy that he was relieved after seeing hope, which ignited his dream of chasing the fifth championship, and the other was his speechless loneliness after disappointment.
