Warriors miss all five 3-point tries in first half before Buddy Hield connects early in third
- The Golden State Warriors lost 102-97 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3 of their second-round playoff series on May 10, 2025, in San Francisco.
- The Warriors missed their first five 3-point attempts and failed to make a single 3-point shot in the entire first half, partly due to Stephen Curry's hamstring injury.
- Despite their struggles from beyond the arc early, the Warriors made 6 of 11 three-pointers in the third quarter, briefly taking a 73-69 lead before eventually losing the game.
- This marked the first time since 2007 that the Warriors did not hit a 3-pointer in any half of a playoff game and the first time since 1997 they missed in the first half during the play-by-play era.
- Coach Steve Kerr acknowledged the challenges the team faces offensively in Steph Curry’s absence, noting that lacking their lead guard and the usual pick-and-roll dynamics makes it difficult to execute their game plan.
