On Saturday, May 10, the Golden State Warriors fell to a 102-97 defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was the second game the Warriors were without Stephen Curry, who is dealing with a grade one hamstring strain.

There was a line of thinking that Jimmy Butler didn't put his foot on the gas in Golden State's Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves because he was saving up his energy for Game 3 at home, when the Warriors were likely to have their best shot to steal the one win they need in this series to stay afloat until Stephen Curry can potentially get back.
