With five triples, Stephen Curry scored a game-high 31 points. Andrew Wiggins finished with fifteen points, while Klay Thompson scored sixteen points off the bench. Draymond Green finished with eight rebounds and twelve points.
With twenty-three points, six rebounds, and eight assists, Anthony Edwards led the Wolves. As Karl-Anthony Towns has been out of the lineup, he has been playing better. Beginning the game, Naz Reid scored 20 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, blocked 2 shots, and made 6 three-pointers. Rudy Gobert finished with 12 rebounds and 17 points.
With this loss, Golden State falls to 36-34 and is currently only one game ahead of the Rockets for the 10th spot in the Western Conference. Recently, Houston has been unstoppable, winning eight straight games. The Warriors, on the other hand, have struggled, finishing 4-6 in their previous ten games.
Even if they brought in reinforcements to compete again and won the championship two years ago, it would be disappointing if they failed to qualify for the play-in tournament. If Golden State doesn’t make the playoffs this year, it might be the end of their dynasty.
With this victory, the Timberwolves move to 49-22 and maintain their chances of winning the top seed in the Western Conference. Despite losing KAT for a significant amount of time, Minnesota is only one game behind the Denver Nuggets for the top slot, thus there is still a potential that they go to the playoffs. They will play the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday; they have a 7-3 record over their previous ten games.
