Warriors, Knicks Seek Playoff Bounce-Back Amid Curry Injury

The Golden State Warriors continue to face challenges in their NBA playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to Stephen Curry's strained left hamstring, which has sidelined him for the last two games. Coach Steve Kerr emphasized the need for focused discipline and game planning without Curry, while forward Jonathan Kuminga, who scored 30 points off the bench, stressed the importance of performing regardless of Curry's presence. Despite trailing 2-1 in the series, Jimmy Butler expressed confidence in the team's ability to compete and plans to regroup and strategize for the next game. Meanwhile, the New York Knicks are also looking to rebound after a loss to the Boston Celtics, with Karl-Anthony Towns highlighting the urgency required in the playoffs. Curry is scheduled for evaluation after a week of injury assessment, with the earliest possible return being Game 6 in San Francisco. Both teams are preparing to use their home-court advantage to try to even their respective series as the playoffs intensify.
