Draymond Green is expected to step it up in a big way for the Golden State Warriors amid Steph Curry's troubling hamstring injury. With the two-time NBA MVP expected to miss at least the next three games in their second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, guys like Green will be forced to carry a heavier load.

STEPHEN CURRY HAD just found Draymond Green open on the wing for a 3-pointer, giving the Golden State Warriors a 30-20 lead Tuesday night in the second quarter of Game 1 and forcing the Minnesota Timberwolves to call a timeout.

According to former NBA guard Jay Williams, Minnesota should take Golden State seriously. Like a wounded animal backed into a corner, the Warriors will come out swinging and Williams said all they need is one win to buy Curry time to return to action and possibly help the Dubs get back on track.
