The Golden State Warriors relied on Jimmy Butler and Buddy Hield to secure a victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves after Stephen Curry’s injury during the second-round NBA playoff series in Minneapolis.
Curry exited the game early due to a strained left hamstring, sidelining him for at least a week.
In Curry’s absence, Butler and Hield provided crucial performance on both offense and defense, leading the Warriors to a 99-88 win.
Hield expressed confidence in their collaboration, stating, “I’m Batman. I saved the day,” while referring to Butler as “still Robin.”
The Warriors face the challenge of maintaining their performance without Curry, with Butler and Hield emerging as key contributors.
