The Golden State Warriors suffered a loss at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. The Timberwolves boast one of the best defenses in the NBA this season. They are leaning on that to generate easy scoring opportunities in transition or early half-court sets.

The Warriors fall to 6-5 with the loss. Golden State has had a difficult schedule to begin its campaign but has remained above .500 despite injuries and some players struggling to reach their usual performance levels. The Warriors and Timberwolves are scheduled to face each other again on Tuesday in an immediate rematch.

The contest will be the Warriors’ second in-season tournament game. However, it’s worth looking at their latest loss and seeing which members of the rotation could produce at a high level. Here are the top three statistical performers for Golden State in its game against the Timberwolves.

Steph Curry

Stat line: 38 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 11-of-25 FG, 5-of-13 3PT.
