Without Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-93 on Thursday night as their Western Conference semifinals series is now tied up at one game apiece heading to the Bay.

In fairness to Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob, this was the farthest thing from a victory lap. He was standing still, for starters, playing the role of head cheerleader in the corner of the Toyota Center court where the players whose massive paychecks he covers were practically skipping back to the visitors’ locker room to celebrate their Game 7 finish over the Houston Rockets.

Jimmy Butler insisted that the Golden State Warriors are confident in winning their first-round series against the Rockets after Houston forced a Game 7 on Friday.
