2025 NBA Playoffs: Timberwolves vs Warriors Player Stats
Beyond the regular season, these two teams also met in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs — and the stakes (and the stats) were even bigger.
- Game 1 (Warriors win): Stephen Curry suffered a hamstring injury early in the second quarter and did not return. Draymond Green led Golden State with 16 points as the Warriors held on for a 99-88 win.
- Game 2 (Timberwolves win): With Curry sidelined, Minnesota took control behind Julius Randle’s 24 points, 11 assists, and 7 rebounds. Anthony Edwards added 20 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals despite briefly leaving with an ankle scare. Final: Timberwolves 117, Warriors 93.
- Series outcome: Minnesota won the series and advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the second straight season. In the closeout game, Randle recorded his first career postseason triple-double, and Brandin Podziemski (28 points) and Jonathan Kuminga (26 points) led a Golden State team playing without Curry for most of the series.
