After the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series Sunday night to advance to the Western Conference semifinals, where they'll face the Minnesota Timberwolves, TNT's Inside the NBA crew's commentary centered primarily around one question: How are the Timberwolves going to defend Steph Curry?

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.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors know they’re a vastly different team without Steph Curry in the lineup, simply unable to replicate the kind of offense the two-time NBA scoring champ has been known to create throughout his Hall of Fame-caliber career.
