Stephen Curry scored 38 and usually that’s both the biggest highlight of the night and enough to get the Warriors a win.
Not when Anthony Edwards is in the building, throwing down a devastating dunk over Dario Saric.

Edwards was given a terrible technical on that for staring down Saric. I don’t what kind of memo went out to referees lately about stare-down technicals but there have been a couple of terrible ones lately and the referees need to slow their roll on this — let the players show some emotion.
Edwards finished with 33 points, but his team got the win over Curry and the Warriors because Edwards had help — Karl-Anthony Towns scored 21 points and four other players were in double digits.
Warriors shooters continued to struggle against long defenders, as they had against Cleveland in a loss a couple nights previously. They also are struggling to find a second scorer. Warriors not named Curry shot 36.6% overall for the game and 7-of-30 (23.3%) from beyond the arc.
Minnesota got the 116-110 win, and these two teams face off again in San Francisco on Tuesday in a game that doubles as an In-Season Tournament contest.
