The Minnesota Timberwolves emerged victorious over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, with a final score of 127-120. Despite Stephen Curry's impressive 39-point performance, the Timberwolves secured the win without their star player Anthony Edwards, who was sidelined due to a right foot soreness. Rudy Gobert led the Timberwolves with 24 points and 14 rebounds, while Donte DiVincenzo made a crucial 3-pointer with 28 seconds remaining. The game saw 27 lead changes, the second-most in the NBA this season, and both teams played short-handed, with the Timberwolves missing Edwards and the Warriors without Draymond Green. Minnesota's momentum shifted in the fourth quarter, as they opened with a 20-7 run, leading by 10 points with five minutes to go. However, Curry and Moses Moody connected on back-to-back 3-pointers to bring the Warriors back into the game. The Warriors briefly took the lead, but Gobert's go-ahead dunk and DiVincenzo's 3-pointer sealed the Timberwolves' victory. Curry's return was promising, as he scored eight of the Warriors' first 12 points, finishing with 14 of 28 field goals and six 3s in 32 minutes. The Timberwolves will host the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, while the Warriors will play the Trail Blazers in Portland. The game statistics and team performance are detailed below.
