Even without iconic sharpshooter Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors have managed to put up a heck of a fight against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their second-round playoff battle. But so far, Minnesota has had a somewhat unexpected card up its sleeve that has helped build its 2-1 series lead.

Julius Randle has been an impressive star player for the Minnesota Timberwolves and his coach, Chris Finch, shows appreciation for his impact.

Randle responded to a quick hook in the third quarter Thursday with a dominant finish to Minnesota’s Game 2 victory.
