Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Golden State Warriors Preview

The Timberwolves failed to take advantage of Steph Curry's absence, letting the Warriors hang around for the majority of the game. Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga kept Golden State afloat on offense, while Draymond Green played great defensively for three and a half quarters.

Minnesota's offense came alive in the fourth quarter, while Steve Kerr's game plan to not take a lot of threes worked early on. However, it's an important part of their offense, and it's hard to knock down threes without Curry taking away a lot of attention.
