Jimmy Butler called Monday's Game 4 a must-win with star point guard Stephen Curry still sidelined by a hamstring injury he suffered in Game 1 last Tuesday. He said that if the Warriors lost, they "don’t have to worry about getting Steph back this year."

Teams losing key players during the NBA playoffs is not uncommon. But it still hurts each time someone goes down.

Bryant twice scored 100 fourth-quarter points in his first 10 playoff games, back in 2001 and 2003, and then added a 99-point run to open the 2008 playoffs. Stephen Curry likewise scored 99 in the first 10 games of the 2023 playoffs, but Brunson's fourth-quarter scoring pace has moved him past those two legends.

It was reported that the earliest Curry could return is in Game 6 if necessary. According to NBA insider Shams Charania, while the Warriors are taking a very cautious approach, the 37-year-old Curry is heading in the right direction.

Former New York Post writer and TV pundit Peter Vecsey tells the Bay Area News Group: “I (expletive) hate injuries.”

The Timberwolves now have a 2-1 lead after pulling out a clutch win on the road against the Warriors. Anthony Edwards turned it on in the second half, scoring 28 of his 36 points in the last two frames, while Julius Randle was a steady force throughout the game, racking up 24 points of his own.

Steph Curry opened up about his memories watching Allen Iverson go up against his dad Dell Curry and his team when he was still a kid.

Steph Curry is one of only two players in NBA history to pass Shaquille O'Neal's 'hate test' and it proves his greatness. Curry is regarded as one of best players in NBA history following his incredible exploits on the court.
