The Golden State Warriors will be at home for game 3 of their second round match against Minnesota Timberwells on Saturday night.
Saturday’s matchup is an important for both teams as the series is tied in a game episle and both squads want to take a total control of it with a win.

Game 2 was completely opposite, however, the Golden State struggled without curry in the lineup as they were blown by Minnesota, who also extended the series.
