Timberwolves Defeat Warriors 116-110, Extending Warriors’ Losing Streak to 3 Games Despite Stephen Curry’s 38 Points.
The Minnesota Timberwolves showcased their dominance as they secured a noteworthy 116-110 road victory against the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center in San Francisco. Anthony Edwards led the charge with 33 points, including a pivotal eight-point scoring spree in the fourth quarter. Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 21 points and 14 rebounds, while Rudy Gobert made his presence felt in the paint with five blocks.
After trailing by one point in the first quarter, the Timberwolves took control and entered halftime with a four-point lead. They further extended their advantage in the third quarter, outscoring the Warriors 35-22 and building a commanding 16-point lead heading into the final quarter. Despite Stephen Curry’s impressive 38-point performance for the Warriors, the Timberwolves managed to keep them at bay for the remainder of the game.
This victory adds to the Timberwolves’ impressive record, now standing at 7-2. They have already secured statement wins against top teams such as the Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics. Although they suffered losses on opening night and in a game against the Atlanta Hawks, the Timberwolves have shown resilience and the ability to compete against some of the best teams in the NBA.
The game was highlighted by a memorable play in the late third quarter when Anthony Edwards drove baseline and emphatically dunked over Dario Saric, extending Minnesota’s lead to 80-68. Edwards’ display of athleticism earned him a technical foul, but it was deemed worth it by the Wolves’ TV announcers, Michael Grady and Jim Petersen.
Despite Stephen Curry’s impressive individual performance, the Golden State Warriors struggled as a team, shooting just 38.5% from the floor and 27.9% from beyond the arc (12-of-43).
