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.

Though the Warriors will be without Curry for at least the next three games of the series, Draymond Green isn't pushing the panic button. On top of finishing out Tuesday's win over the Timberwolves, Green believes the team can rely on Jimmy Butler, who has carried his teams during the postseason before, to keep their championship dreams afloat.

They went through such bad luck in 2016 when Stephen Curry suffered a sprained knee in the first round and was never quite the same the rest of the playoffs. The Dubs face this reality once again after their dynamic superstar was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain that would force him out of action for at least a week.
