The Golden State Warriors beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 99-88 in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Tuesday. They did that despite the fact that Stephen Curry left the game early with a hamstring injury that could also keep him out of Game 2.

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry could return for Game 6 of the Minnesota Timberwolves series.  Curry suffered a Grade 1 left hamstring strain in Game 1.

The result was Minnesota racing out to a 13-0 lead to open the game and never looking back, cruising to a 117-93 win, tying the series at 1-1. Game 3 is in the Bay Area on Saturday. The Warriors are expected to be without Stephen Curry for that game as he recovers from a strained hamstring (he will be re-evaluated after Game 4).
