G1 in the Western Conference Semi-Finals, the Warriors challenged the Timberwolves away, and a seemingly disparate showdown! The defending champion Warriors, when the star Curry accidentally retreated from injury, relied on the resilience and tenacity of the team to defeat the Timberwolves 99-88 and won a key victory! What is even more shocking is that this victory also set an unprecedented historical record - the G1 in the East and West Semi-Finals, which was all defeated by the visiting team! The G1 battle between the Warriors and the Timberwolves is undoubtedly the most topical game in this round of the series. The Warriors' journey this season is ups and downs, ranking seventh in the Western Conference in the regular season, and only after passing the playoffs could he barely catch the last train of the playoffs. In the first round, facing the powerful Rockets, the Warriors had to win after seven hard games. It was certainly amazing that Curry and Butler stood up at a critical moment, but seven high-intensity confrontations also made their physical reserves light up.

In contrast, the Timberwolves entered the playoffs as the sixth in the West and had a home advantage, so they were naturally highly expected by the outside world. However, the charm of competitive sports lies in its unpredictability. Before the start of G1, there were several games in this round of series, and the visiting teams performed the following good shows, which seemed to herald a new trend. If the Warriors can continue this momentum and defeat the Timberwolves, they will be witnesses to history. At the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves took the lead and took a 4-2 lead. But the Warriors quickly adjusted their state and overtook the score with a 5-0 climax. The two sides fought back and forth, and the scores rose alternately. At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led by only a slight advantage.

In the second quarter, the Warriors suddenly exerted their strength and launched a suffocating 12-0 offensive, instantly overturning the score and pulling it to double digits. However, just as the Warriors' morale was high, an accident happened - Curry was accidentally injured during an attack and was forced to leave the field. The official then announced that Curry would not return in this game. Curry's injury undoubtedly cast a shadow on the Warriors, but the Warriors were not discouraged. Green stood up and hit a key three-pointer to stabilize the morale of the army. Although Reid's jump shot helped the Timberwolves break the scoring drought, the Warriors always maintained a lead of more than 10 points. At the end of the half, the Warriors led the Timberwolves by 13 points.

In the first half, Green performed well and contributed 16 points, becoming an important firepower point for the Warriors' offensive end. Although Curry retired early, he still contributed 13 points. However, other players, including Butler, performed slightly underdog. With Curry absent, it is not easy for the Warriors to maintain a double-digit lead.

The Warriors continue to expand their lead. Hilder hit a three-pointer to help the Warriors expand their lead to 20 points! Reed's three-pointer helped the Timberwolves stop the bleeding, but at this time the Timberwolves began to gradually find an offensive feeling, especially Edwards. The feeling of sports and offensive gradually returned, but the Warriors' advantages are still obvious.

In the third quarter, Butler and Hilder's three-pointers were like a continuous gun, helping the Warriors stabilize the situation and withstand the Timberwolves' counterattack. The Warriors maintained a 12-man rotation, and after three quarters, the Warriors were still leading by 20 points.
