Stephen Curry scored a season-high 44 points as the Golden State Warriors held off a Minnesota comeback to win 119–114 on October 28.
The NBA’s final result confirms Golden State’s road victory at Target Center. Curry made six three-pointers and all 16 of his free throws, finishing with eight rebounds and six assists, according to the Associated Press game report.
Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg added 26 points. The victory was Golden State’s second consecutive win after three losses to open the season, while Minnesota suffered its second straight defeat following a 3–0 start.
Field Level Media reported that the Warriors led 64–48 at halftime and by as many as 24 points. Minnesota reduced the gap after halftime, outscoring Golden State 66–55 over the final two quarters.
The Timberwolves cut the margin to three in the closing seconds on a Bones Hyland bank shot. Curry then made two free throws to secure the result, according to Field Level Media.
Jonathan Kuminga led Minnesota with 20 points against his former club. Jaden McDaniels and Terrence Shannon Jr. each scored 19. LaMelo Ball finished with eight points after making three of 11 field-goal attempts, AP reported.
Minnesota played without Anthony Edwards following a procedure on his right knee. His absence provided the backdrop to the game, rather than a newly announced injury in this report.
Both teams next play Friday: Golden State hosts the Lakers, and Minnesota hosts the Clippers.
