Klay Thompson was really yapping at the Minnesota bench after a late 3. He said he was trash-talking Wolves assistant Joe Boylan. Boylan used to work for the Warriors and they always chirp at each other. pic.twitter.com/BU0KVRGYk5 – 11:22 PM

Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Conley on where the team’s youth shows: “I think you can find it in those possessions where we have like 2, 3 turnovers in a row. Momentum swings in the middle of a game where we’re up 10 and now we’re up 2. Those little things people may not think much of come back to bite you.” – 11:22 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Naz Reid: “We feel like we’re a better team than that. We just missed a lot of shots coming down the stretch. There was opportunities where they might’ve got the rebound over us and things like that. We played hard. I don’t know what to say. We played really hard.” – 11:13 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Anthony Edwards said he is physically fine, said he wasn’t tired or anything, he just missed his shots, he said.
“I just missed everything. I can live with it. I’ll be ready to play next game.” – 11:09 PM

The Warriors beat the Timberwolves 109-104.
Klay Thompson again was big for Golden State. He had 32 points on 12-of-23 shooting. Donte DiVincenzo had 21 points, 8 rebounds, five assists. Kevon Looney 17 rebounds and 12 points. – 10:30 PM

Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
The Warriors beat the Timberwolves 109-104. Once again, Klay Thompson was huge: 32 points on 12-of-23 shooting, six 3-pointers.
Golden State now has a half-game advantage over Utah in standings for seventh place and trail Dallas in sixth by just a half-game. – 10:23 PM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney put the Warriors on their backs and Donte DiVincenzo stepped up in a big way. The only disappointment for me was Jordan Poole – had a couple of nice steals but he’s gotta shoot better than 25% FG & 12.5% three. #dubnation – 10:23 PM

Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
I know you’re all mad at Finch and Connelly. There’s criticism merited there. But Anthony Edwards was 5-19 with 5 turnovers as well. Not sure if he was sick or banged up or what, but on a night when you don’t have KAT or Rudy, they needed more. – 10:18 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
With an offensive rating of 100.9, the Wolves entered this game 27th in the NBA in clutch time offense — only better than Houston, San Antonio and (ironically) Golden State. – 10:17 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Bumpy path, but Klay Thompson has delivered two of his biggest performances of the season at a must-have time. Warriors beat the Rockets and Timberwolves without Curry/Wiggins/Draymond. Klay goes for 42 and 32 points. Warriors climb back to 31-30 and inch into the #7 seed. – 10:13 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Golden State is now 3-17 when allowing 15 or more made threes.
Last time the Warriors won a game giving up at least 15 made 3s was at Chase on Dec. 28 against Utah. – 10:13 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Perfectly understandable that Finch didn’t call a timeout on the steal. They were in transition against a broken defense. Had 3 great looks available (Ant in corner, Conley on wing, JMac in corner) and they didn’t make it. – 10:11 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors should foul to prevent the 3 after their inevitable TO – 10:10 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
And now Warriors can’t get the ball in, resulting in a jump with 6.7 left. Wolves do have a timeout still due to the successful challenge. Do they take it if they win the tip? – 10:09 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
McDaniels had Edwards wide open in corner at the start of the play and never saw him, threw it back up top to Conley instead. – 10:08 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors have tried everything to blow this 8 point lead with 1:01 left. Wolves just haven’t been able to hit the 3s. – 10:08 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Warriors with a coupoe of turnovers and have allowed the Wolves to cut it to 107-104 with 24.3 to play. – 10:05 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Up 6 with almost a min left, Poole goes way too early, but Looney bails him out with the tip in. – 10:04 PM

Draymond Green will miss his second consecutive game on Sunday due to a knee injury. warriorswire.usatoday.com/2023/02/26/war… – 10:00 PM

Klay Thompson 3 and then it looked like some words for the Minnesota bench. Wasn’t a full Dillon Brooks taunt, but it was animated. He has 32 points. Warriors up six with two minutes left. It’s a 27-12 fourth quarter so far. – 9:57 PM

Why teams bark at the Warriors baffles me. It always has them find another gear. Always. – 9:57 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors go Box/1 with DDV on Ant out of the timeout to mess up the ATO – 9:47 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors need Poole to create some offense. The T’Wolves aggressiveness on ball-handlers is hurting the offense. Somebody’s gotta beat their man off the dribble … or get out in transition and attack the rim like Donte just did – 9:43 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Minnesota is 16-for-35. They get good looks with drive-and-kicks.
Warriors have taken 36 threes but their percentage of difficult threes are much higher, which is why they’ve only made 10 – 9:39 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Wow, Austin Rivers coming up enormous after a really rough 3 quarters. – 9:38 PM

At the end of the third quarter, the @Minnesota Timberwolves lead 87-78.
Reid leads all with a career-high-tying 29 points, his 5th 20+ point game of the season (12th career). He’s added 8 rebounds and a career-best 4 steals on the night. – 9:30 PM

Klay Thompson is essentially all the way back offensively.
Not sure he’ll ever be the All-D caliber stopper again but this is a now a month of pretty incredible play.

This is the time of year where two-way players sign real NBA rest-of-season contracts that extend for multiple seasons. We’ve seen like six over the last week.
I wonder if the Wolves had an open roster spot (they don’t) if they would have signed Luka Garza to that type of deal. – 8:49 PM

After Naz Reid got 2 quick questionable fouls protecting the rim, he’s out for the remainder of the half. Finch goes to Luka Garza, rather than Knight or Kyle Anderson at C. – 8:37 PM

Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
At the end of the first quarter, the @Minnesota Timberwolves lead 34-25.
Reid leads all with 18 points on 7-8 shooting, including 3-4 from three, a career-high for any quarter. His previous best was 14 points (3x; MR: 4th Q at OKC on 10/23/22).
Reid added 6 rebounds in the quarter. – 8:14 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Examples on a couple of consecutive possessions why Moody doesn’t play more. Allows his man NAW to sneak inside for an offensive rebound putback, then beaten 1 on 1 with no screen by Jordan McLaughlin to set up an open 3. – 8:13 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
When Naz Reid was drafted he weighed 283. He told me a few weeks ago that he’s down to 227.
Naz also measured 6’9 at the combine without shoes on (normally what a player listed at 6’10/6’11 measures). Wingspan was measured at just over 7’3.
18-point 1st quarter for Naz tonight. – 8:12 PM

Draymond Green was ‘on track’ to return today vs. Timberwolves, per Warriors coach Steve Kerr, but a ‘setback’ in pregame forced him out.
He’ll receive further evaluation from the medical staff in hopes of more clarity – 6:01 PM

“What was going through your mind when it left your fingertips?” “Honestly I thought it was money.”
That reminded me of something Steph Curry would say after hitting a buzzer beating 3. Elite shooters have elite confidence. Caitlin Clark is HER. pic.twitter.com/B46MTCLrjp – 5:52 PM

Draymond Green is out tonight with that knee contusion. Steve Kerr said it “flared up today” unexpectedly. Called it a setback. Training staff will get more of a look today. Probably an MRI. – 5:48 PM

A look at the Nets’ minutes distribution:
Top 7 are cemented right now. Feels like Harris and Curry could be on their way out.
Watanabe and Sumner deserve a look given what they’ve done this season. Simmons remains a question mark. pic.twitter.com/VcD5z6C8eZ – 5:47 PM

That one Hunter Dickinson shot might wind up being the difference between Michigan going dancing, and Wisconsin being left out of the NCAA tourney.
Michigan still has Illinois and Indiana left — both on the road.
Wisconsin with Purdue at home, and then finish at Minnesota. – 4:34 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Jaden McDaniels is obviously awesome at the point of attack on D. But if you can afford to play him off-ball, it’s a luxury.
The addition of Conley and NAW make it so the Wolves have enough to competently guard LaMelo, Rozier and Hayward — which allows McDaniels to guard the 4. pic.twitter.com/XJvONKuhbf – 4:26 PM

Dinwiddie, Finney-Smith, and Royce will have trade value.
Curry is gone this summer. Harris and Mills are negative value and will be gone after next season.
Yuta, Sumner could be back next year using exceptions. Depends on their markets. Sharpe a project.
Simmons who knows. – 4:20 PM

Nowell – Left Knee Tendinopathy
Prince – Personal Reasons
OUT
Moore Jr. – G League Assignment

Hawks have done well working the matchups so that Seth Curry gets stuck defensively on a big under the rim. – 3:51 PM
Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
2017-18 Lakers: just a bizarre Basketball Reference team.
Brook Lopez, Randle, Ingram, Clarkson, Kuzma, Caruso, Josh Hart, Nance Jr., healthy Lonzo and Caldwell-Pope, plus cameos from Isaiah Thomas, Thomas Bryant + GPII. That’s a good team now!

Next possession Finch brings back Gobert and Anderson early. And that’s helpful in that you now have overall better players on the floor, but it doesn’t really do anything about the scoring punch.
It’s this stuff behind why the Wolves have to be a really good defensive team now. pic.twitter.com/TqOCa7zydr – 2:24 PM

Here’s a cleaner and probably more necessary euro from Gobert later in the same quarter pic.twitter.com/xrcA6IZxhs – 1:56 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Rudy Gobert has progressively upped the volume of these eurostep drives as the season has gone on. Still a work in progress, for sure — but it’s actually been pretty effective.
I’d like to see him next add a little floater/flip shot when he catches at the nail w/ this much space pic.twitter.com/mNwGdgqynH – 1:55 PM
