The Golden State Warriors had a long night Wednesday as they faced elimination without their superstar Steph Curry. Curry suffered a hamstring strain in Game 1 of the Warriors' second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves,

The Golden State Warriors are officially out of the playoffs. With their superstar Stephen Curry sidelined due to a hamstring injury, the team fell 121 to 110 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5.

Julius Randle has only been a part of the Timberwolves for a year, but he has looked the part of being the team's veteran star alongside a young Ant Edwards.

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 Minnesota Timberwolves will be hosting Golden State Warriors in Game 5 in the Western Conference semifinals on Wednesday, May 14th at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

The Golden State Warriors trail the Minnesota Timberwolves in their second-round matchup, and with Stephen Curry out for at least the next game, the Dubs could very easily fall into a 3-1 hole.

Timberwolves' power forward has finally emerged as a playoff force to complement superstar Anthony Edwards. 'I had a great mentor in Kobe Bryant,' he says.
