Timberwolves Dominate Warriors to Extend Winning Streak to Four

Anthony Edwards led the charge for Minnesota, delivering a stellar performance with 30 points and 9 assists. His dynamic play was instrumental in maintaining the Timberwolves' lead throughout the game, especially in crucial moments when the Warriors threatened to close the gap.

Rudy Gobert maintained his strong form, contributing a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. His presence in the paint proved pivotal in Minnesota's defensive strategy, which has become a cornerstone of their recent success.

For the Warriors, Stephen Curry returned to action after resting his sore knees in the previous game against Houston. Despite his efforts, including a team-high 23 points, Golden State struggled to find consistency on both ends of the court.

The game was competitive early on, with both teams tied at 31 after the first quarter. However, the Timberwolves seized control in the second quarter, capitalizing on a six-minute scoreless stretch by the Warriors to build a lead as large as 19 points.

Golden State showed resilience, narrowing the deficit to 80-77 early in the fourth quarter following a three-pointer by Curry. Minnesota responded emphatically, with Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards hitting crucial three-pointers to re-establish a double-digit lead.

The Timberwolves' defense proved to be the difference-maker, forcing 22 turnovers from the Warriors and recording 12 steals.
