With Curry departed, Golden State’s other two future Hall of Famers have had to look to score with more frequency. Eight-time All-Defensive Team power forward/center Draymond Green has scored 16 points in the half, while six-time All-Star combo forward Jimmy Butler has 13 so far.
Three-time All-Star Minnesota shooting guard Anthony Edwards, the club’s best player, has just one point to his credit.
The Timberwolves are shooting just 32 percent from the field, and have missed all 15 of their attempts from 3-point land.
