SAN FRANCISCO---The Minnesota Timberwolves burst from the gate aggressively in Game Two of the Western Conference Semi-Final Series to defeat the Golden State Warriors 117-93 in a wire-to-wire finish, that again had star Stephen Curry helplessly sidelined on the bench with a strained hamstring. He will be out of action at least another week.

The T-Wolves suffered their own scare when  star Anthony Edwards collapsed to the floor in the second quarter when he went down clutching his left ankle, after Warriors big man Trayce Jackson-Davis landed on Edwards' ankle, leaving the 23-year-old sitting on the floor holding his lower leg as play went on.

 

Edwards was later helped to the locker room, with trainers preventing him from putting any weight on the ankle. The Timberwolves later announced he was questionable to return with a left ankle sprain.​ He finished the game with 20 points on 6-of-13 shooting, nine rebounds, five assists and three steals. It was Julius Randle who led the way for the Timberwolves throughout the night, with 24 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds.

 

Meanwhile, without Curry, Jonathan Kuminga came off the bench and led the team in scoring with 18 points. Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

​

However, over the course of halftime, Edwards went from barely being able to walk on a sprained ankle to running onto the court with the rest of the team. He was healthy enough to start the third quarter for the Timberwolves, despite the team up big with a 56-39 lead. 

 

Edwards finished with 20 points despite the injury. Julius Randle led Minnesota with 24 points, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 20 off the bench. Jonathan Kuminga led Golden State, which played without Steph Curry, with 18 points.​
