The Timberwolves now have a 2-1 lead after pulling out a clutch win on the road against the Warriors. Anthony Edwards turned it on in the second half, scoring 28 of his 36 points in the last two frames, while Julius Randle was a steady force throughout the game, racking up 24 points of his own.

The Warriors took the first game of the series on the road, but the Timberwolves took advantage of Stephen Curry’s absence to get into the win column in the second. Curry left Game 1 with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for at least a week.

Minnesota’s front office, led by David Kahn, had the fifth and sixth picks in the 2009 NBA Draft. They selected two point guards, Jonny Flynn and Ricky Rubio, instead of Curry, leaving the soon-to-be generational superstar for the Warriors at the seventh selection.
