Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Golden State Warriors – 11/12/15 National Basketball Association Pick, Odds
The win takes the Warriors to 10-0 for the season.
“That’s my only motivation”, Curry said.
The Warriors (9-0) are at it again, tying a team record for consecutive wins to start a season with a 100-84 victory at Memphis on Wednesday.
Martin started the fourth with a 3-pointer to get Minnesota back within single digits, and the Wolves clawed as close as 104-99 before the Warriors pulled away late. “I mean we went to Atlanta and we beat them when they’d won seven in a row”.
“Not just by passing the ball, but setting good screens to create that separation to give him room from the guys that are trying to be more physical with him”.
Well, for whatever reason, the Minnesota Timberwolves had to learn this lesson the hard way.
Curry, the reigning league MVP, bit 15 of 25 shots, including 8 of 13 3-pointers, to finish with 46 points. Draymond Green had 23 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds for the Warriors, who are the fourth defending champion to start the season with at least 10 straight wins. The Warriors came out firing and never really looked back as they shot a scorching 60 percent from the field and found themselves up 40-27 after one quarter of play. The 1960/61 team held the record at 9-0 but Curry has lifted his team above that.
His continued development was one display against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Andrew Wiggins led the way for the Timberwolves with 19 points and first round pick Karl-Anthony Towns had another double-double with 17 points and 11 boards. Now the Warriors are on the verge of setting their first mark this season.
Just when we think we’ve seen everything from Curry, he continues to amaze in every game.
There are just a few things that you advise against in life. This is the third game Curry has topped the 40-point plateau and also the game he has knocked down eight triples.
According to the largest online retailer of officially licensed sports merchandise, Fanatics.com, Curry is the top-selling National Basketball Association player and the Warriors are the top-selling team.
“Everybody kind of feels that positive vibe out there on the floor, and it’s contagious”, Curry said. “I thought we battled”. He had a career-high 37 points and hit 6 for 10 from 3-point range in a 110-101 road loss April 11 in the most recent meeting with Golden State.
Favors led the way Thursday, scoring 25 points with 12 rebounds and seven blocks. He made 15-of-25 shots from the field, including 8-of-15 on his three-point attempts. Golden State led 75- 63 at halftime – the 75 points is the most points scored in the first half in the league this season.
“But obviously when it comes to family, he’ll take as much time as he needs”, Walton said.
The Warriors have so much confidence this year and that is fueled by their dominating season last year.
