MINNEAPOLIS — Stephen Curry scored 26 points to lead the Golden State Warriors past Minnesota 111-85 on Sunday, the fifth straight loss for the Timberwolves and their longest skid in more than three years.<\/p>\n

Curry added seven assists and four of his team’s season-high 20 steals after being listed as questionable to play because of knee soreness. Moses Moody added 19 points and eight rebounds for the Warriors (26-21), who moved within 1 1\/2 games of the Timberwolves (27-19) for seventh place in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

Brandin Podziemski had 12 points, six assists and four steals for the Warriors, who have won seven of their last 10 games. <\/p>\n

Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 32 points and 11 rebounds after the game was postponed a day<\/a> following the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis man by federal immigration officers. <\/p>\n

There was a pregame moment of silence held for Alex Pretti, and a subdued crowd found little to cheer 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.<\/p>\n

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 they did the first and trailed by double digits for the final 16:15 of the game. The last skid this long for the Timberwolves was six games from Dec. 21-31, 2022.<\/p>\n

Forwards Julius Randle (11 points) and Jaden McDaniels (three points) combined to shoot 4 for 19 from the floor for the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

After the rematch here on Monday night, Golden State plays at Utah, and Minnesota plays at Dallas, both on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
