The storylines:

There are plenty of storylines throughout the series for NBA fans.

The Timberwolves went just 1-3 against the Warriors this season, but Game 1 was the first time the Wolves played the Warriors with Jimmy Butler, who scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds on Tuesday night.

Butler was traded to the Timberwolves in June 2017, and lasted a little more than one year. He forced himself out of Minnesota after leading the reserves to a practice win over starters at a practice was followed by an outburst.

Draymond Green is also a player who Timberwolves' fans love to hate. He gave them public criticism as a TV analyst last year and choked Rudy Gobert during an in-game incident this past season.

The Timberwolves also passed on drafting Stephen Curry not once, but twice in the 2008 NBA Draft – instead taking Ricky Rubio No. 5 overall, and Johnny Flynn No. 6.
