Why Minnesota Won Despite Making Fewer Threes
The clearest difference was overall shooting efficiency. According to the NBA’s official scorer’s report, Minnesota made 46 of 82 field-goal attempts, compared with Golden State’s 39 of 97.
| Shooting measure | Timberwolves | Warriors |
|---|---|---|
| Field-goal percentage | 56.1% | 40.2% |
| Three-pointers | 12–30 | 15–48 |
| Free throws | 23–26 | 24–25 |
Golden State gained nine more points from three-pointers and one more from free throws. Minnesota nevertheless finished ten points ahead because it scored substantially more through two-point baskets.
That distinction matters when interpreting the box score. More made threes and more shot attempts can help a team, but neither guarantees a stronger offensive performance.
How the Warriors Made the Game Closer
Minnesota’s second-quarter surge created the separation. According to Field Level Media’s report published by Reuters, the Timberwolves later stretched their lead to 25 points.
Golden State responded and reached 109–102 with 8:37 remaining. Minnesota then protected its advantage, preventing the comeback from becoming a lead change.
The quarter scores show the scale of the recovery: Golden State won the second half 69–58. However, its 21-point halftime deficit left little room for another poor stretch.
Did Stephen Curry Play?
Stephen Curry did not play in this game. The official gamebook listed him inactive with right patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Draymond Green also sat out because of left lower-back injury management. These are historical availability details for March 13, 2026, rather than current injury updates.
Seth Curry did appear for Golden State, so readers should distinguish the two players when checking the scoring table.
