Cole turns G2 into a test site, and the 14-man rotation in halftime is hard to find the offensive answer

Without Stephen Curry's first game, the Golden State Warriors' offense was almost paralyzed, and they lost to the Timberwolves 93-117 away, and the series became a 1-1 draw.

Curry was injured at the end of the second quarter in the last game, but the Warriors still found a way to win, but they only scored 99 points at that time, with 104.2 points in a hundred rounds. In this game, facing the Timberwolves who were more prepared, the Warriors seemed to have very few offenses, and in the end they only scored 100 points in a hundred rounds, which was the second worst game in their single-game attack this year.

Warriors coach Cole regarded this game as an experiment. He made 14 players appear in the first half. Except for the injured Curry, all the players on the roster appeared. When you see Kevin Knox can enter the second round of the playoffs, you will understand what kind of mentality the Warriors are dealing with this battle.

"This game is about figuring out what kind of way works and how to build a roster around Butler," Cole said. "We have found an ideal formula in the past few months, but with Curry falling, this formula is no longer valid and we need to find the right combination again."

lacks the greatest shooter in NBA history, the Warriors' space seems blocked, and there are not many ways to initiate the offense. Butler made 6 of 13 shots and scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Facing defenders like McDaniels, Randle, and Edwards, Butler, who lacks the threat of long-range shots, cannot create a stable advantage. Butler played for 34 minutes in this game, Green's "Dream Chasing" Green for 29 minutes, and Cole did not make the core players full of time.

"I don't want Green or Butler to bear such a heavy load, unless we really see the chance to win this battle, I don't want to consume too much for this game," Cole admitted.

lacked Curry's restraint. The Warriors made 20 mistakes in the game and were scored 22 points by the Timberwolves. They could not find an ideal offensive method. According to statistics, the Warriors have violated the rules in the playoffs this year, with the most of them among all teams, 9 of which appeared in this round and 3 tonight.

According to the team, Curry will at least miss the G4 of the series. His earliest return time is G5. Before that, the Warriors need to do their best to find a way to win, otherwise they may not be able to wait until Curry returns.
