00:00Our only NBA playoff game on a Thursday night in Minneapolis in DRS without Stephen Curry

00:06Golden State obviously just does not look the same and the Timberwolves do take advantage to

00:12even this series at a game apiece in dominant and impressive fashion 117-93 a 24 point win for

00:22Minnesota they easily cover as a 10 and a half point home favorite a much better offensive night

00:28out of the team walls from the very start they started the game on a 13-0 spurt they go over

00:34their team total in the game total of 201 in a hook skies over as well Minnesota has even this

00:41series DRS in the absence of Steph Curry at a game all yes they have and they needed that in any

00:47which way possible doesn't have to be pretty it doesn't have to be ugly it can be either which

00:51way and yesterday you got a combination of both it was ugly to start but really it was ugly on the

00:55Golden State Warriors now in the previous game number two that we take a look at in the Eastern

00:59Conference with the Boston Celtics in New York Knicks like the Celtics actually lost game too

01:02but what I like is my favorite bet in that game minus six and a half first half for the Boston

01:06Celtics which they covered because you have to establish your home court and they're blowing

01:10that game because I didn't want to cover 10 plus points at that point and I didn't bet it yesterday

01:14with the Minnesota Timberwolves I want to point that out but if there was a way that I probably missed

01:17out on betting it was establishing your home court advantage knowing the other team didn't have their

01:22best player and you saw that case in point what was it midway through the first quarter bang Golden

01:25State three points I'm like yeah this is going to be an easy one 29 to 15 then they won the second

01:30quarter and obviously coming out of the break you don't have too much for the Golden State Warriors

01:33and the ammo for Golden State is they usually make great adjustments at the half and still Minnesota won

01:38the third quarter by three points then the fourth quarter by four points with an easy victory but the

01:42things that we thought would happen in this game they talking about the Golden State Warriors would

01:46really struggle scoring the basketball and they did right off the bat the open jump shots weren't going down

01:50yes Buddy Heald was there shooting 14 times for 15 points but that's not good enough Draymond

01:55Green had double digits in his last game here easily only scored nine other players had to step up

01:59what do we say Donnie who's the guy you want to watch it's Jimmy Butler you can't be 6 of 13 for 17

02:05points when you're the go-to guy I don't care if that defense is going to focus on you you need

02:09better but having said that does anybody actually think after game number one if they told you Ben

02:14that Steph Curry is not coming back for the series this should be the way each game plays out

02:18Minnesota is the much much better team now

02:23you
