Could the Warriors’ Same Game Parlay Unlock an Unexpected Victory in Game 2 Against the Timberwolves?
Isn’t it something how the Golden State Warriors can lose their greatest weapon—a Steph Curry hamstring injury early in Game 1—and still come away with a comfortable 99-88 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves? It’s almost as if the basketball gods enjoy throwing us curveballs just to keep things spicy. But here’s the real kicker: even without Curry for at least a week, the Timberwolves suddenly find themselves bigger favorites to take this series than they were before tip-off. Curious how a loss can actually boost a team’s odds, huh? As we head into Game 2 with Minnesota favored heavily, I’m throwing down what I call a “Pizza Bet”—a little same-game parlay just to sprinkle some extra fun over the action, not a pile of cash. Pace is slow, defenses are locked in, and without Curry’s gravitational pull on defenders, the Warriors’ shooters and rebounders will have to hustle like mad to keep up. Will the Wolves’ Jaden McDaniels and Anthony Edwards bring the energy their coach demands? And can Naz Reid stay as cool from deep as he’s been at home? The chess match of adjustments promises plenty of intrigue. So grab a slice, settle in, and let’s see which way this series tilts next.
LEARN MOREEven after losing Steph Curry to a hamstring injury in the second quarter, the Golden State Warriors still trounced the Minnesota Timberwolves 99-88 in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. Because Curry will be out for at least a week, the T-Wolves are bigger favorites to win this series despite losing Game 1 than pre-series.Â
