Steph Curry's 31-point double-double lifts Warriors past Timberwolves

Curry hit three 3-pointers and a pair of free throws in a 90-second span that helped the Warriors pull away after blowing a 21-point first-half lead.

Takeaways Warriors: What a difference two days makes. On Thursday, the Warriors allowed the Grizzlies to set a franchise record with 27 3-pointers in a 144-93 drubbing in Memphis but held Minnesota to 41.9% on the night.

Timberwolves: After scoring 37 points in the first half, the Timberwolves exploded for 38 points in third quarter and came back to take the lead twice but ultimately couldn't crawl back from their early 36-15 deficit.

Key moment With just under four minutes to play and the Warriors leading 96-94, Edwards missed the second of two free throws. The Warriors controlled the rebound and Curry curled off a screen, caught a pass and calmly drilled a 3-pointer on the other end. After making two free throws, Curry hit two more 3s to give Golden State a 107-96 lead.

Key stat Minnesota made 6 of 22 shots (27.3%) in each of the first two quarters. Four of the Wolves' 12 first-half field goals were dunks, making them 8 for 40 (20%) on all other shots in the first half.

Up next The Warriors return home to face the Pacers while the Timberwolves visit Atlanta on Monday.
