The Golden State Warriors (24 - 5) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (5 - 24) 110 - 97 on Saturday. Golden State stopped their two - game skid with the win. Stephen Curry led the way with a game - high 25 points, and Klay Thompson splashed 21 points into the pool as well. Marreese Speights stayed in the starting lineup at center with Festus Ezeli (ankle) and Andrew Bogut (knee) out indefinitely. Speights finished with 10 points and six rebounds in 19 minutes. The Warriors will host the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday for what will likely be a second straight win. Minnesota has lost eight straight games. They're committed to their youth movement, as they continue to start Zach LaVine at point guard, giving him every opportunity to develop early in his rookie season. He showed up well Saturday, putting up a double - double of 12 points and 14 assists in 31 minutes. Thaddeus Young led the Timberwolves with a team - high 17 points, but the team's struggles shooting the ball (44 percent) and the fact that they gave up 36 easy points on 24 turnovers points to the two most obvious reasons why they could n't keep up with the Warriors. Minnesota will wrap up their road trip against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday.
