Golden State Warriors defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 119‑114 on Wednesday in Minneapolis. Stephen Curry scored a season‑high 44 points, shooting 11 of 27 from the field, including six three‑pointers, and was perfect from the free‑throw line, making all 16 attempts. He also recorded eight rebounds and six assists. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg added 26 points for the Warriors. The Timberwolves were without guard Anthony Edwards, who had been averaging 33.3 points in his first four games. Minnesota announced on Tuesday that Edwards would miss an extended period after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. The loss of Edwards was the first test for Minnesota to see how the team would perform without its leading scorer. The Warriors, who began the season with a 0‑3 record, have now won two consecutive games. Minnesota, after starting 3‑0, has lost its last two contests. The victory marks the Warriors’ second straight win and the Timberwolves’ second consecutive loss.
