The World Champion Golden State Warriors took their global star power to China to square off against the feisty Minnesota Timberwolves. It may have been a late start for Warriors fans back home (11pm PST), but the Chinese Dub’s contingent held down the fort and represented in a big way.
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson powered the starting five’s opening run with a trademark shooting exhibition. They combined to knock down their first four jumpers to loud approval from the excited fans. The Dub’s active front-court walled off the paint from Minnesota’s drives and rotated well out to disrupt passing lanes.
