they found a way to steal a win in game one of their second round series in minnesota. but it's what they lost that is most important now. steph curry left early in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. now curry came out. he scored 13 points in 13 minutes. the warriors got off to a great start against the timberwolves but he strained his hamstring. you could see he was in some discomfort and trying to play through it as he grabbed the back of his leg. no doubt. seven tough games with the rockets led to the injury. curry left the game tonight, could not return. we don't know the full extent of the injury, but a grade one strain generally takes 7 to 10 days to heal a grade two strain 3 to 6 weeks. the warriors somehow win without steph, but it would take a miracle to win the series without him. >> he's obviously crushed, but you know, the guys picked him up and played a great game. and obviously we're all, you know, concerned about stuff, but it's part of part of the game. you just uh- guys get hurt and you move on. our guys did a great job of moving on and getting

they got a big road win last night in minnesota.ctually the last 31 series for the golden state warriors. they've won at least one road game in about 30 of each of those series. a big milestone that the warriors continue on. that mri is going to help doctors determine how bad this injury is, and that will also help determine how soon we can see steph curry back on the court. if it's a lower grade strain, he could be back in action relatively soon, possibly within the week, but we won't know that timetable until at least sometime this afternoon. steph curry left in the second quarter, but not before putting up 13 points in 13 minutes. head coach steve kerr says the rest of the team did a great job of stepping up without their star player, and they'll likely need to do it again thursday. >> you know, the guys picked him up and played a great game and obviously we're all, you know, concerned about steph, but it's part of part of the game. you just guys get hurt and you move on. our guys did a great job of moving on and getting a great

we were always looking at what minnesota did. the road, so we want to get one of at least the two. at least one of the two here you'd like it to be tonight, and we're going to do everything we can to get it done. >>how did denver and white stun top seed oklahoma city? san jose native aaron gordon showed us last night. a clutch triple in the final seconds to give the nuggets a10 series lead. the archbishop mitty alum this postseason now has two game winners in these playoffs. to that ryan, i got nothing other than winning a game of pop a shot at the marin county fair once, but i'll see the rest of you all on valkyrie's pregame coming up 630 on pix. plus. >>did you get one of those big stuffed animals though? >>i actually did. >>oh >>and we still >>had >>an oversize banana still in the garage. >>all right. congratulations. thanks, murray. up next at five, a fashion trend that's been evolving for centuries. we're going to talk to a bay area author about black dandyism, why it's now getting its time in the spotlight. >>black dandyism

in minnesota the counties of the biggest increase in these food shelves are also rural. my colleague from south dakota will recognize this county as well as senator klobuchar in the far southwestern corner of minnesota seen in increase of food shelf visits of 195% over the last year. so i draw attention to this because right now what's happening is usda's cutting the funds that is helping food shelves meet their needs and emergency food assistance programs have been frozen and cut and this is having a dire impact in minnesota and around the country to help people. i really want to put a point on this as we think about the big issues before us in the upcoming reconciliation budget. mr. lindbergh thank you for being here and mr. lindberg i want to ask you what we can do to create and preserve foreign markets and i appreciate my colleague senator klobuchar's opening statement about how minnesota farmers and producers are really struggling with a lot of the chaos around trades and tariffs and there's no doubt in our country the first trump administration minnesotans were hit

this is the minnesota department of human rights, saying that minnesota human rights act is one of thet civil rights laws in the country and protects every minnesotan from discrimination. "we will respond in court." to your point about the danger that there could be in the sport and others by having someone stronger and bigger involved, in the case of it being a biological male, you might ask who is standing up for those girls that are being put in harm's way? brian liker, the bears legend, came on this program yesterday. he is one of a handful of males -- notable sports figures who are standing up and saying this is not right. listen. >> you see these girls standing up. it's hurting themselves when they stand up. they're not competing because they don't want to compete against a man. they're stepping down from competitions. it's funny coming from people who push women's rights and want to fight for women's rights, but they don't want to in sports. >> turns out he and others who are standing up for these girls are on the side of the majority of the country who don't think girls should

. >> still ahead here, warriors take a big hit in minnesota. but fans back home say they're not giving up. nation's fight is far over. as prospectors, we know ourselves a boom. so, when the xfinity wifi started booming, we rushed in. booming wifi deserves a booming phone from xfinity mobile! and you can upgrade twice a year! whether you needya one. -where's my phone? or just wantchya one! this one's even golder! upgrade your phone up to 2x a year with premium unlimited from xfinity mobile. plus, get a free 5g phone. the wifi's booming! >> a disappointing night for dub nation. the warriors lost game 2 against timberwolves in minnesota tonight. that final score one 17. >> to 93. yeah. series now tied at one apiece. and while the team played in minnesota, dubnation though, showed up to support the centers thrive city for a watch party. that's where we find kron 4 sarah stinson. >> it was a tough game to watch. fans walked away from thrive city bummed about a 24 point loss. many saying that this may be growing pains playing without steph curry. wel

with the series heading back to minnesota. and they don't want that because that would be a tough hole to climb out of. and what are the predictions tonight including yours. are the warriors the favorites in this game four at home. well no. when you don't have steph curry your margin for error really is a lot smaller for the warriors. head coach steve kerr said it. they got to limit their mistakes. grab those loose balls. the timberwolves obviously are going to be favored in this game. but you never know. the warriors are at home and it just takes a buddy hill effort like he had in game seven against the rockets, or even in game one against minnesota. and the warriors might be able to pull off the upset and get the win. we'll see tonight. tipoff is at 7:00. okay. thanks, anthony. they'll need it because game five back in minnesota. thank you so much. have fun. be sure to tune in to nbc sports bay area for warriors pre and post game live starting at 6:00. warriors postgame live will begin immediately after the game. well, messi

that's got to be a big advantage for minnesota.nd this is an opportunity for minnesota to take advantage of perhaps a wounded animal here. with steph curry being out for at least the next three games. so we'll see if minnesota can rally themselves. they can have played of any more poorly than they did in game one. really shot the ball poorly, turned the ball over at inopportune times. but i'm not getting the sense that wolves fans are terribly worried at this point just yet. >> no, certainly. i mean, minnesota is a step up. i know coach finch said. anthony edwards, obviously the tone setter for the wolves. he actually said that light went out in game one and mentioned that, and certainly because steph went out early in game one, we know our guys can do it. what do you think has to happen tonight? how do you change that mindset. are they still thinking you know look it's game two. the whole series is still on the line obviously. >> yeah no question about it. and when it comes to anthony edwards i'm not worried about his type of resp

they believe that the minnesota timberwolves will win by at least 5 points, traveled to minnesota ande out the series, the warriors, they're doing their best, of course, to win. tonight or possibly the next few days and minnesota to extend time for steph curry to possibly come back for game 6. if you watch kron 4 all morning, i'm going to do reverse psychology, james, and i'm going to say that the warriors will get blown out tonight, hoping that they win so reverse psychology the last couple of games. i was all-in, right? so that didn't work some going to reverse the mojo they're going to get destroyed. back to you. let's hope the universe is listening and does exactly the opposite. >> thank you. we'll 5.42. is the time. still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. valkyrie speaking of basketball there in their final preseason game before their official home opener. >> did they get their first win last night? well, we'll find out air and wilson will have the highlights. as prospectors, we know ourselves a boom. so, when the xfinity wifi started booming, we rushed in. booming wifi deserves

this is in last night's playoff series opener against minnesota. espn also cites the sources there saying that the warriors expect curry to miss at least one week with that injury. now without steph, the warriors last night held up pretty amazingly there. minnesota's poor shooting likely had something to do with that as well. but you know what? thanks to the guys like draymond green jimmy butler buddy hield picking up the slack there. the warriors controlled the gameretty much throughout winning 99 to 88. grabbing the home court advantage there again. game two is tomorrow night in minnesota. game three saturday back here at home at chase center. and today the future of fire protection in the south bay is in balance. and a clara county supervisors the transitioning from their current fire department run by cal fire to one run by the county. nbc bay area's kris sanchez was at that meeting where residents got a chance to weigh in. so, kris, what did they have to say? well, good morning to you, marcus. that meeting lasted just 20 minutes. and in the en
