Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 32 points and 11 rebounds after the game was postponed a day after the shooting death of a Minneapolis man by federal immigration agents.
There was a moment of silence before the game for Alex Pretti, and a subdued crowd found little to celebrate as the Timberwolves stumbled to their lowest final score in more than four years since a 104-84 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at home on Nov. 5, 2021. This was their first time under 100 points this season.
The Timberwolves found a burst of energy for a 10-0 run to close the first half, capped by a 3-pointer from Edwards that cut Golden State’s lead to 47-46. But they started the third quarter as flat as the first and trailed by double digits for the final 16:15 of the game. The Timberwolves’ last such long streak was six games from December 21 to 31, 2022.
