The Golden State Warriors (18 - 2) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (4 - 16) 102 - 86 on Monday at the Target Center in Minneapolis. Right from the tip - off, the Warriors were clearly the better offensive team in this one. They capped off the first half with a 48 - 39 point lead, giving them enough of an advantage to coast to a victory on the road. They shot 46 percent from the field and 23 percent from the three - point line, while the Timberwolves shot only 36 percent from the floor and a dismal 18 percent from beyond the arc. The Warriors superstar backcourt of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson was again the difference in this game, helping lead them to their thirteenth straight victory and a league - leading eighteen wins. Despite only going 1 - for - 7 from beyond the arc, Curry still hit 10 - for - 20 from the field, giving him 21 points, while also adding seven assists. Thompson on the other hand went 7 - for - 15 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 21 points of his own. The Timberwolves just did n't have a difference maker on defense who could shut either of the guards down, so they did n't have much hope in this one. Draymond Green struggled with his shot (3 - 10 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT), but was still able to contribute 10 points and 10 rebounds, giving him his second double - double in the last three games. Shaun Livingston and Marreese Speights chipped in 12 points apiece off the bench. Rookie Andrew Wiggins did all he could to keep the Timberwolves in the game. He went 8 - for - 19 from the field and 0 - for - 1 from the three - point line to score 21 points, while also pulling in six rebounds. It was the first time in the last eight games he was able to reach the 20 - point mark, pushing his season average to 11 points per game. Thaddeus Young reached double figures as well, scoring 13 points (5 - 11 FG, 1 - 1 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT) and grabbing seven rebounds. With so many injuries, Shabazz Muhammad continued to be a solid presence of the bench, as he went 4 - for - 8 from the field and a perfect 6 - for - 6 from the free throw line to score 14 points. He's now averaging 11 points and 3 rebounds on the year. The Warriors' next game will be at home against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, while the Timberwolves will be at home against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday as well.
