The Golden State Warriors missed a tremendous opportunity to move up the Western Conference standings on Sunday night. Despite leading in the final minute of regulation, the Dubs fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves 99-96.
While both of the Splash Brothers struggled with efficiency (a combined 35 points on 13-for-40 from the field) all evening, Jordan Poole led the Warriors offensive attack with a game-high 27 points on 8-for-16 shooting from the field. Draymond Green (12 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 turnovers) was the only other Warrior to finish in double-figures.
The Warriors successfully slowed down the biggest scorers on the Timberwolves, holding Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony-Towns to a combined 27 points on 10-for-30 from the field.
