Western Conference race gets tighter as Timberwolves beat Warriors

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 08:23:14 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors were up two and had the ball in their hands with about five seconds separating the shot and game clock Sunday evening. Their fourth straight win was well within reach. But Draymond Green turned the ball over and Kyle Anderson fed Karl Anthony Towns who buried a 3 to put the Timberwolves up for good. On the next possession, Jordan Poole would throw the ball away for Golden State’s fifth turnover of the fourth and the Timberwolves would hold on, beating the Warriors 99-96. Towns playing in his second game back after a 51-game hiatus, knocked down two timely 3s late in the fourth to usher his team to their third straight win and even the regular-season series at 2-2.
