The Golden State Warriors endured a major blow when star point guard Steph Curry exited Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals with a hamstring injury. Though the Warriors managed to get the win in Game 1 over the Minnesota Timberwolves after the two-time MVP left the game,

STEPHEN CURRY HAD just found Draymond Green open on the wing for a 3-pointer, giving the Golden State Warriors a 30-20 lead Tuesday night in the second quarter of Game 1 and forcing the Minnesota Timberwolves to call a timeout.
