Stephen Curry marcou 44 pontos em Minneapolis e o Golden State segurou o Minnesota na vitória por 119 a 114, a segunda consecutiva depois de um início de 0-3.
Aos 38 anos, o armador segue somando marcas em noites familiares de arremesso. A linha dele foi de oito de 16 da linha de três e 16 de 16 nos lances livres, além de oito rebotes, seis assistências e dois roubos de bola; os 44 pontos o deixaram empatado com LeBron James na lista de jogos de 40 pontos ou mais depois dos 35 anos, com Michael Jordan logo atrás dos dois.
Os Warriors abriram 20 de vantagem antes de o Minnesota, sem Anthony Edwards, reduzir a diferença nos minutos finais. Curry respondeu nos dois lados da quadra para proteger o resultado.
O novato Yaxel Lendeborg, escolha número 11 do Draft, deu outra noite encorajadora ao Golden State com 26 pontos e nove rebotes, embora sete turnovers tenham mostrado o quanto ele ainda tem a aprender. Brandon Williams acrescentou 11 pontos saindo do banco.
Jonathan Kuminga marcou 20 pelo Minnesota, com Jaden McDaniels e Terrence Shannon Jr contribuindo com 19 cada.
