Rudy Gobert scored 24 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, while Donte DiVincenzo made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 28 seconds left to lift the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 127–120 victory over the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center. Julius Randle added 27 points, nine rebounds, and six assists as Minnesota improved to 16–9 despite missing Anthony Edwards with right foot soreness.
DiVincenzo finished with 21 points, six rebounds, and four assists, and Naz Reid chipped in 18 points and seven assists off the bench, helping the Timberwolves hold off a Warriors team that was playing without injured Draymond Green.
The game featured 27 lead changes, tied for the second-most in the NBA this season, with both teams competing short-handed. Minnesota opened the fourth quarter with a 20–7 run, leading by 10 with five minutes remaining before Stephen Curry and Moses Moody hit consecutive 3-pointers to bring Golden State within four.
Curry scored 39 points in his return after missing five games with a bruised left quadriceps, making six 3-pointers and going 14-of-28 from the field.
Quinten Post added 16 points for the Warriors, and Jimmy Butler had 15 points and eight rebounds, but Golden State briefly led 118–117 before Gobert’s dunk and DiVincenzo’s 3-pointer sealed the game.
Minnesota’s frontcourt dominance and clutch shooting proved decisive, with Gobert controlling the paint and Randle contributing across the board. The Timberwolves closed the game on a 10–2 run.
The Timberwolves will host the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, while the Warriors travel to Portland to face the Trail Blazers.
