The Golden State Warriors lost Stephen Curry but won Game 1 of their second-round NBA playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. Curry exited early in the second quarter, did not return and is expected to miss a week after an MRI revealed a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Curry will definitely miss Thursday's Game 2 in Minnesota.

So I’ll point to this: Road teams have won nine of the last 13 NBA playoff Game 7s. Make it 10 of 14. Curry and the Dubs find a way to stay on the right side of their razor-thin margin for error and win Game 7 in Minneapolis, much to Alex Rodriguez’s chagrin. Warriors in 7.
