Updated NBA Playoff Bracket 2025 Picture, Schedule After Wolves Beat Warriors in G2

The Golden State Warriors' first full game without Stephen Curry in the 2025 NBA postseason went as expected.

The Minnesota Timberwolves crushed the Curry-less Warriors to level their second-round series.

Minnesota opened up a 14-point advantage after one quarter and never let Golden State back into the contest.

The Wolves set the Game 2 tone on their opening run of the game.

Minnesota scored the first eight points of the contest and then went on to win the first quarter 29-15.

Julius Randle led the Wolves with 24 points and 11 assists, while Anthony Edwards added 20 points and nine rebounds.

The Wolves also received double-digit contributions from Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jaden McDaniels, who had three blocks to go along with his 16-point performance.

Golden State received 17 points out of Jimmy Butler, but its starting five could not keep up with the Wolves.

The Warriors have to figure out how to play without Curry ahead of Game 3 at home. They did get 18 points out of Jonathan Kuminga and 15 points from Trayce Jackson-Davis off the bench.

One or more of their bench players must step up to fill the void left by Curry in the scoring department.

Golden State only has one day to work on those fixes, though, since Game 3 takes place on Saturday night.
