Anthony Edwards notched an impressive 33 points while Steph Curry led the Warriors with 38, but it was the Timberwolves who secured their sixth consecutive win, triumphing 116-110 on the road at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Edwards was a standout, contributing 13 of his 33 points, including an essential eight-point streak in the final moments of the game. Karl-Anthony Towns added 21 points and 14 rebounds, with Rudy Gobert making a significant impact in the paint with five blocks.

The Timberwolves faced a tight battle early on, trailing by just one point after the first quarter. However, they surged ahead, leading by four at halftime and outscoring the Warriors 35-22 in the third quarter, establishing a commanding 16-point lead going into the final quarter, effectively fending off any attempts by the Warriors to rally.

With this victory, the Timberwolves, now standing at 7-2, have notably triumphed over respected teams like the Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics, and now the Warriors—establishing their credibility among the league’s top contenders.

Their two losses, notably on opening night against Toronto, where despite holding their opponents to under 100 points, they suffered from their worst shooting performance in five years, and against Atlanta, where they lost a 21-point lead in the second half.

While Curry showcased an exceptional performance with 38 points for the Warriors, the team struggled collectively, shooting only 38.5% from the floor and a mere 27.9% from beyond the arc (12-of-43).

The game’s highlight came in the late stages of the third quarter when Edwards delivered a powerful baseline dunk over Dario Saric, propelling the Timberwolves to an 80-68 lead. Edwards’ emotional reaction earned him a technical foul, but the impact of the play was evident, even as Wolves TV announcers Michael Grady and Jim Petersen concurred, stating, “it was worth it.”
