The Golden State Warriors took a surprise loss to the young Minnesota Timberwolves in their recent matchup. Despite a massive night for Stephen Curry, the Bay could not complete the job. The duo of Karl Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell proved too much for the Warriors. However, the game got quite physical as both sides lost their temper.

Steph is definitely a killer when it comes to on-court action. He has the ability to destroy oppositions and give his team the upper hand. This has led him to have the nickname ‘Baby Face Assassin’. However, when it comes to conflicts, Cutty stays out for the most part. But tonight it was different.

In a rare scene, Curry got involved in the scuffle between Taurean Prince and teammate Toscano Anderson.

Stephen Curry fighting for teammates

While the Warriors were trying to get back in the game in the fourth quarter, they missed up a shit. But Anderson, having the athleticism, tried to run for a put back. While on his way, Prince gave him a hard shove to avoid him from getting to the basket. It was immediately called an offensive foul, but Anderson took offense to it. He went right up to Prince and the two had a heated argument.

The remaining Warriors and Stephen Curry also joined in to help out their teammates. Curry was also seen speaking to the referee regarding the offense.

When it came to the game, Curry was on top, but he did not get the support he needed. Steph went off for 34 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists in the loss to the Timberwolves. Playing without Klay, the three-point king got no support from fellow All-Star Andrew Wiggins. The Warriors star only scored 12 points on the night as they lost 114-129. The bench unit, however, really came through as Kuminga, Poole and Damion Lee combined for 40 points.

For the Timberwolves it was KAT who led the way with 39 points and 9 rebounds. He shot a dominating 64% from the field. Russell continued to increase his stretch of impressive games with 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists. Malik Beasley was a big factor in the absence of Anthony Edwards as he scored 20 points off the bench. The Timberwolves now improve to 34-29 for the season.
