The Minnesota Timberwolves (26 - 52) defeated the Golden State Warriors (69 - 9) at Oracle Arena on Tuesday, 124 - 117 in overtime. The Timberwolves handed the Warriors only their second loss at home and put the NBA record for regular season wins in jeopardy. The thrilling contest needed an extra period, and although the Warriors were undefeated in overtime, the Timberwolves rallied behind Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins and a career performance from Shabazz Muhammad off the bench. Golden State committed a season high 24 turnovers, and Stephen Curry’s miserable first half shooting did not aid his team back into game. The refs provided some controversial calls down the stretch, as Curry was called for a blocking foul on a Karl-Anthony Towns and - one, which after a long discussion was reversed to a charge at the hands of Towns. The call came at a pivotal moment during the game, late in the fourth quarter, but even with a bit of luck on their side, the Warriors weren’t able to get a shot off as time expired to win in it regulation. Overtime went entirely in favor of Minnesota, where Towns and Muhammad took care of business as they had throughout the game.

He finished with 21 points on 7 - of - 25 shooting, while Harrison Barnes carried Golden State through the first two quarters and contributed 20 points and five rebounds. Andre Iguodala returned to action after missing a slate of games with an ankle injury, but logged 18 minutes and was more effective on the defensive end of the floor. Shabazz Muhammad stepped up big and led all scorers with 35 points, to go along with six rebounds on 9 - of - 12 shooting. His career night included draining 15 - of - 17 shots from the charity stripe, where found himself in tough situations in the waning minutes of regulation and overtime.
