Steph Curry brought the chef’s hat, Klay splashed like it was 2018, and Minnesota learned what playoff trauma really feels like.
The Timberwolves came into Game 1 all full of confidence, big energy, and those slick new playoff warmups. The Warriors? They came in with rings, receipts, and Steph Curry ready to cook.
Final score? Golden State 113, Minnesota 106. But it felt more like “Dad took the controller back” energy from the jump.
Steph dropped buckets like he was trying to unlock a badge in 2K. Threes, floaters, pull-ups from Fresno—man was heat-checking so hard the ball probably had burn marks. And Klay? Bro remembered what month it is. Vintage Splash Bros were BACK, and Minnesota’s defense looked like a bunch of dudes just trying to find the Wi-Fi signal.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves looked like they accidentally walked into a family reunion fight. Anthony Edwards had his moments, but you can only go toe-to-toe with the Warriors for so long before your ankles get spiritually broken.
Draymond Green chirped everyone within a five-mile radius, Steve Kerr blinked exactly twice, and the Chase Center crowd screamed like rent was due and this was the only way to pay it.
And let’s talk about that fourth quarter—because if there was a playoff soul left in the Wolves by then, Steph stepped on it gently with a deep three and walked away smiling like he just bought the team on a Groupon.
Golden State leads 1–0. The dynasty might be older, but it still bites.
