Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr pushed back on the assertion by Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch that the Warriors are benefiting from uneven officiating. Kerr told reporters Wednesday the Timberwolves are "bear-hugging" Golden State star Stephen Curry and that he has his own issues with how the postseason is being called:

The Warriors face their first full-game test without Curry when they tip off against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals series on Thursday in Minneapolis. Golden State has a 1-0 advantage in the best-of-seven series and seeks to steal a second straight victory on the road.

The Warriors attacked the Wolves’ drop defense with Rudy Gobert by peppering Minnesota with 3-pointers, and shooting floaters. Draymond Green set the tone on the first possession when he went right at the Frenchman and floated in a teardrop.
