At 9:30 am on May 7, the Golden State Warriors challenged the Minnesota Timberwolves away, and the two sides officially started the second round of G1 battle.

Therefore, this round of series is filled with more suspense and highlights. It is particularly worth mentioning that the three games that have ended have all ended in the second round, and this will give the pressure to the Warriors and the Timberwolves at the same time.
