MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Stephen Curry scored 11 straight points in the fourth quarter and 31 in the evening as the Golden State Warriors beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-103 on Saturday night.

Trayce Jackson-Davis had 15 points and nine rebounds, while Brandin Podziemski had 12 and Curry – who made seven 3-pointers – added 10 assists for the Warriors.

Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo led Minnesota with 19 points each. Rudy Gobert had 18 points and 12 boards for Minnesota.

Curry made three 3-pointers and two free throws in a 90-second span to help the Warriors pull away after blowing a 21-point lead in the first half.

Takeaways

Warriors: What a difference two days make. On Thursday, the Warriors allowed the Grizzlies to set a franchise record with 27 3-pointers in a 144-93 drubbing of Memphis, but held Minnesota to 41.9% on the night.

Timberwolves: After scoring 37 points in the first half, the Timberwolves jumped out to a surging 38-point lead in the third quarter and came back twice to take the lead, but ultimately were unable to overcome their initial 36-15 deficit.

Key moment

With just four minutes left in the game and the Warriors leading 96-94, Edwards missed the second of two free throws. The Warriors controlled the rebound and Curry rolled away from a screen, caught a pass and calmly drilled a three-pointer the other way. After two free throws, Curry hit two more three-pointers to give Golden State a 107-96 lead.

Key statistics

Minnesota made 6 of 22 shots (27.3%) in each of the first two quarters. Four of the Wolves’ 12 first-half field goals were dunks, leaving them 8 for 40 (20%) on all other first-half shots.

Next

The Warriors return home to take on the Pacers, while the Timberwolves visit Atlanta on Monday.
