No Steph, no problem? After the Warriors dropped Game 3 at home to the Timberwolves, 102-97, without Stephen Curry on the floor, Jimmy Butler had one thing to say: “We can compete without Steph, we’re still as confident as ever.”
Bold words, considering this was Golden State’s second straight loss—and with Curry out till Game 6 due to a hamstring injury, confidence alone might not cut it. Jimmy’s takeaway? This team isn’t folding. Not now. Not without a fight. But the Timberwolves clearly didn’t get the memo. With Anthony Edwards leading the charge, they locked the Warriors down and walked out of Chase Center with a 2-1 series lead.
Still, Butler’s message wasn’t for the fans. It was for the locker room. No Steph, no excuses. That’s the energy now. But if the Warriors want to keep hope alive, Game 4 can’t just be about confidence, it really has to be a comeback. And with Curry’s return looming at least till Game 6 and Butler heating up, this story’s just getting started. Stay tuned.
