The Minnesota Timberwolves were able to even their playoff series with the Golden State Warriors by taking Game 2 at home. After a disappointing Game 1 performance, Minnesota bounced back to tie the series at 1-1.

The fragility of contending in the NBA playoffs was illustrated in the hush of the Target Center crowd, in their collective eyes looking at the far end across from the Golden State Warriors bench, across from an NBA legend wearing street clothes instead of a team uniform.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have seen Anthony Edwards writhing in pain on the floor several times throughout his career before eventually welcoming their star guard back to the game.
