MINNEAPOLIS — One day after the players got time off on New Year’s Day, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr warned Thursday felt like a “sleepy day.”
The Warriors lacked energy through most of their 99-84 loss to the Timberwolves at Target Center, briefly showing signs of life before turning in the third-fewest points scored in their season.

After flying into snowy and overcast Minneapolis on Wednesday afternoon, Golden State (9-27) was down two key starters, slow to close out on shooters and struggled to make routine passes in its third straight loss.
Missing guard D’Angelo Russell (right shoulder contusion) and center Willie Cauley-Stein (illness), the Warriors were without a go-to scoring option.
