Despite Steph Curry’s absence due to injury, the Golden State Warriors managed to secure a victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves with a score of 99-88 on Tuesday night, taking an early lead in their conference semifinals matchup. The Timberwolves’ offensive efforts were lackluster, as evidenced by their 39.5% shooting from the field and only making 5 out of 29 attempts from the three-point line.
The Timberwolves have been consistently struggling with their three-point shots, not just in this game. The team’s star, Anthony Edwards, was visibly shocked when a reporter informed him and Julius Randle post-game that over their last two games, the team had made only 12 out of 76 three-point attempts. This statistic marks the worst three-point shooting performance in NBA playoff history.
Upon hearing these figures, Edwards was taken aback, his eyes widening and jaw dropping in astonishment, while Randle couldn’t help but laugh at the revelation. It was clear that neither player was aware of the dire statistical reality until that moment.
