31 points in a half from a Playoff team in 2025 is insane :lol:. And yet the Wolves will still win this game because the Warriors Offense is atrocious without Curry on the floor

Good to see a bit of momentum for the Wolves. What an atrocious start to their home defense.

Rest Steph game 2 and maybe even game 3 - that buys him a week of rest which is still not much for a hamstring injury but at least gives him a chance to come back

Just a matter of time before the scoring drought without Curry. Wolves will be fine unless Draymond makes 10 more threes in the 2nd half.

Would love to see Finch come out with a starting 5 that includes Luka, TSJ, Dillingham and Clark...maybe send a message to the regular starters.

Total utter disgrace. I have the sound down but Minnesota deserves to be booed off the court at halftime.

Complete disaster.

I hope Finch screams at them at the half. He's got tons of material for it!

Horrific first half. Great defense from the Warriors, but the Wolves literally look like they just got out of bed and decided to play a basketball game. This second round of the playoffs has been the strangest I've seen in years.

31 points on offense in a half is nasty work. Stop trying to copy the Celtics. Woof.

So is Edwards injured. Looked like he was limping off and seems to have no lift at the rim.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Everybody: The Timberwolves' offense is definitely better than the Rockets!

*31 points in the first half*

With Curry's injury and Edwards playing like ass this game might not even be worth watching anymore.

I don't understand why Anthony Edwards looks so thoroughly shook walking off the court. Dude, you're a budding superstar. Wake up

This would be a bad halftime even in the 90s.

Wolves players all look like they went out late last night. Just no legs, lazy passing and hucking junk 3s.
