Warriors vs. Timberwolves Game 2 Highlights: Chaos, Carnage, and Edwards Going Supernova

If you thought the Western Conference playoffs couldn’t get any wilder, Game 2 of Warriors vs. Timberwolves just dropped a Molotov cocktail on that assumption. The final score? Timberwolves 121, Warriors 109—but the numbers don’t even begin to tell the story. This was a game of runs, rage, and one Anthony Edwards deciding he’s done waiting for his superstar coronation. Let’s break it down like a highlight reel on caffeine. 1st Quarter: The Wolves Come Out Swinging (And Howling) Right out the gate, Minnesota looked like a pack of wolves who’d just spotted prey. Edwards, all 22 years of explosive athleticism, came in hot—hitting pull-up threes, attacking the rim like it owed him money, and generally treating Warriors defenders like traffic cones. 12 points in the first 6 minutes. Meanwhile, Golden State? Rough start. Steph Curry (24 pts, 6 ast) was getting hounded by Jaden McDaniels—who, by the way, might be the league’s most underrated perimeter stopper. And Draymond Green? Let’s just say his usual antics didn’t rattle the Wolves. If anything, they fueled them. Key Moment: Edwards’ filthy crossover on Klay Thompson into a step-back three. The crowd? Unhinged. The Warriors’ bench? Not amused. 2nd Quarter: Kuminga’s Breakout (And Then the Wolves’ Response) Just when it looked like Minnesota might run away with it, Jonathan Kuminga (21 pts, 8 reb) decided to remind everyone why the Warriors see him as their future. Dunk after dunk after dunk. The man was playing like his shoes were on fire. But the Wolves? They didn’t panic. Because Karl-Anthony Towns (28 pts, 10 reb) finally woke up. After a quiet Game 1, KAT went full "I’m a max player, dammit" mode—hitting threes, bullying in the post, and even playing (gasp!) defense. Key Moment: Kuminga’s poster on Rudy Gobert. The French Rejection got posterized, and for a second, Dub Nation had hope. Then Edwards answered with a 30-footer. Because of course he did. 3rd Quarter: The Steph Curry Flurry (And the Wolves’ Counterpunch) You know that feeling when Steph gets that look? Yeah, third quarter Steph arrived. Back-to-back deep threes. A ridiculous floater. A steal leading to a Klay transition three. Warriors cut a 15-point lead to 4 in under 4 minutes. But Minnesota? They didn’t fold. Because Naz Reid (17 pts off the bench) decided this was his moment. Back-to-back threes, a putback dunk, and suddenly, the Wolves’ lead was back to double digits. Key Moment: Steph’s heat-check 32-footer… that rimmed out. The very next play? Edwards with a monster and-one dunk. The energy shift was palpable. 4th Quarter: The Ant Man Takes Over This was Anthony Edwards’ world, and the Warriors were just living in it. 18 points in the final frame. Step-backs. Dunks. Trash talk. The man was unconscious. Meanwhile, Golden State’s offense stalled. Too much hero ball, not enough ball movement. Draymond got a tech (shocking, I know). And Andrew Wiggins? Let’s just say Wolves fans enjoyed his very quiet night. Key Moment: Edwards’ dagger three with 1:42 left. The celebration? A shrug. Because at this point, he knew. Final Thoughts: What This Means for the Series Timberwolves in 6? If Edwards keeps this up, absolutely. Warriors’ concerns: No consistent second scorer outside Steph. Kuminga was great, but they need more. X-Factor: Rudy Gobert’s defense. He altered so many shots tonight. One thing’s clear: This series just got spicy. And if Game 2 was any indication, we’re in for an all-time showdown. ???? Final Score: Timberwolves 121, Warriors 109 Series: Tied 1-1 Next game: Saturday, May 10. Buckle up.
