San Francisco – Minnesota trailed 82-77 with fewer than eight minutes to play in Game 3 on Saturday. The Timberwolves were a little scrambled for much of the evening. They’d committed 21 turnovers to keep the nose of the Warriors – playing without their best player in Steph Curry – out in front for much of the contest.

The Warriors took the first game of the series on the road, but the Timberwolves took advantage of Stephen Curry’s absence to get into the win column in the second. Curry left Game 1 with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for at least a week.

This series nearly became the Warriors without Stephen Curry against the Timberwolves without Anthony Edwards.
