Life is just different on the court for the Golden State Warriors without Stephen Curry.

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).

Yes, the report could've been worse. As far as hamstrings go, a Grade 1 strain is preferable to a Grade 2 or 3, but it sounds like the Warriors are expecting at least a one-week absence. And based on the history of this injury, he could miss the rest of the second round.
