The Golden State Warriors defeated the host Minnesota Timberwolves , 116 - 108 , at Target Center on Sunday . While Golden State did pull out the result most expected , it did n't come in easy fashion . In fact , the Warriors had to rally in a 38 - 20 fourth quarter to come back and win this game . The biggest factor was the assist - to - turnover ratio , with Golden State dishing out 30 assists to just eight turnovers , while Minnesota assisted just 17 times , while committing 14 turnovers . The Timberwolves lost this game despite winning the rebounding battle , 51 - 37 . Free-throw shooting was also huge for the Warriors , as they went 27 - of - 30 from the charity stripe in their comeback win . The Warriors ( 21 - 4 ) are coming off their worst loss of the season , so a comeback win is all they could ask for to get right back on track . Klay Thompson led the team in scoring , as he dropped 30 points and six rebounds . Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant each scored 22 apiece , as Durant added eight rebounds and five assists , while Curry provided four rebounds and nine assists . Draymond Green was the only other Warrior in double figures , totaling 18 points , five rebounds and four assists . Golden State will look to build off this win in a road matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday . The Timberwolves ( 6 - 18 ) have struggled all season and a meltdown like this to the best team in the league only adds to the troubles . Karl-Anthony Towns did all he could to keep the T'Wolves hanging around , as he tallied 25 points and 18 rebounds in the defeat . Zach LaVine and Andrew Wiggins also scored 25 points apiece , as the only other Minnesota players with at least 11 points . LaVine also added three rebounds and four assists , with Wiggins including five rebounds and two assists to his line . The Timberwolves next game will be on Tuesday , as they play the Chicago Bulls on the road . While the eight - point margin looks somewhat lopsided , this game was full of swings , as it took one final push from the Warriors to pull out their win . Golden State actually outscored Minnesota , 38 - 20 , in the fourth quarter to overcome a double - digit deficit . In total , there were 12 ties and 14 lead changes with no team trailing by more than 12 points . The assist - to - turnover ratio was the difference in the game , with the Warriors recording 30 assists and eight turnovers , while the T'Wolves committed 14 turnovers to just 17 assists . Klay Thompson had one of his hot games , as he scored a game - high 30 points , adding six rebounds to his tally . Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry were n't far behind , as they scored 22 points apiece . Karl-Anthony Towns , Zach LaVine and Andrew Wiggins all tied for a team - high of 25 points each for the Timberwolves , as they had no other player score more than 11 . Towns also added 18 rebounds in one of his best games of the season .
