The Golden State Warriors edged the Minnesota Timberwolves 119-114 at Target Center on Wednesday night, riding a vintage 44-point explosion from Stephen Curry to snap a two-game skid and open their three-game road trip on a high note. Game recap • First quarter: Golden State’s small-ball lineup blazed out to a 30-23 lead as Curry drilled three triples in the opening six minutes. • Middle frames: Minnesota countered with a 58-55 burst behind LaMelo Ball’s playmaking and Jonathan Kuminga’s two-way energy, briefly grabbing a five-point cushion late in the third. • Closing time: Curry scored 16 of the Warriors’ 26 fourth-quarter points, including back-to-back threes from 30 feet, while Draymond Green’s strip of Ball with 22 seconds left sealed the victory. By the numbers • Curry: 44 pts, 8 reb, 4 ast, 16-for-16 FT — his 63rd career 40-point game. • Kuminga: 20 pts on 7-of-15 shooting, flashing an expanded mid-range game. • Ball: 25 pts, 8 ast, 6 reb, but committed 6 turnovers under relentless traps. • Three-point battle: Warriors 11-of-35 (31 %), Wolves 15-of-45 (33 %). • Rebounding: Golden State +9 (52-43), a surprise edge without a true center. Key takeaways 1. Curry’s hot start to 2026-27: The two-time MVP is averaging 34.8 PPG through five contests, forcing defenses to pick their poison well beyond the arc. 2. Warriors win paint war with committee: Yaxel Lendeborg (17 pts, 7-reb), Al Horford, and Gary Payton II cobbled together enough rim pressure to keep Rudy Gobert in rotation. 3. Timberwolves’ late-game woes: Minnesota has now dropped two straight games decided by five points or fewer, an area coach Chris Finch identified as an offseason focus. 4. Draymond sets the tone: Seven assists, one turnover, and the decisive steal reminded everyone why Green remains Golden State’s emotional engine. Standings impact Golden State improves to 3-3 overall (3-2 on the road) and inches within one game of the Pacific-leading Lakers, while Minnesota falls to 3-3, two games behind unbeaten Oklahoma City in the Northwest Division. What’s next • Warriors: Visit Denver on Friday before returning to Chase Center for a five-game homestand. • Timberwolves: Host Phoenix on Saturday, looking to rediscover crunch-time execution ahead of a daunting four-game Western swing.
