SAN FRANCISCO – The present-day Golden State Warriors emulated their ‘We Believe’ predecessors in at least one respect during Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Jimmy Butler had a team-high 33 points, fully living up to the "Playoff Jimmy" moniker he has historically earned at this stage of the season. Jonathan Kuminga had 30 points and six rebounds off the bench. Golden State as a team shot 10-of-23 from beyond the arc.

Stephen Curry continues to be sidelined with a grade one hamstring strain. In his absence, the rest of the Golden State Warriors' rotation must step up to try to fill the void. Buddy Hield will undoubtedly be relied upon to keep the floor spacing and force defenses into some tough decisions.
