The Minnesota Timberwolves took a 2-1 lead with a 102-97 victory over the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Western Conference Semifinal Playoffs with Anthony Edwards leading the way with 36 points last Saturday at Chase Center in San Francisco.

Julius Randle had 24 for the winners, Jaden McDaniels added 15, and Naz Reid and Rudy Gobert — along with 13 rebounds — added nine each.

This week’s Significant Six photos feature images of the Warriors’ 99-88 Game 1 victory — led by Draymond Green, Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler — at Target Center last week.

Curry left the game with a hamstring pull after scoring 13 points in 13 minutes of play.
