"Golden State's superstar detonated for 39 points, but dozens of tiny mistakes though mostly by teammates doomed the Warriors to a 127-120 loss and a .500 record. Botched rotations. Missed box outs. Careless fouls. In a game that saw the team make a spirited fourth-quarter comeback, it was that large collection of tiny errors that stood out in the minds of the losing team. it was a rough start to the fourth, but we did battle, Curry said."
"Curry had little to do with the Warriors' biggest problem, that being their total inability to stop the supersized Wolves from scoring in the paint. Minnesota put in 66 points in that area, drawing 28 free throws, too. Quinten Post was the most frequent victim of the Timberwolves' forays into the paint. He was repeatedly dunked on by Rudy Gobert, often stuck in no-man's land after his teammates failed to stop dribble penetration."
Steph Curry scored 39 points in a 127-120 loss to the Timberwolves. A turnover initially energized a comeback but was overturned after a review showed a foul on Donte DiVincenzo. Dozens of small errors — botched rotations, missed box outs and careless fouls — undermined the Warriors' effort. The Timberwolves dominated the paint, scoring 66 points there and drawing 28 free throws. Quinten Post was repeatedly dunked on by Rudy Gobert amid failed help defense and dribble penetration. Coach Steve Kerr called the transition defense poor, and a late hesitation on a 3-point attempt hurt a close rally.
