The Minnesota Timberwolves will continue their road trip on Saturday night when they visit the Golden State Warriors, who have lost just one game at home this season.
Earlier this year, the Warriors were able to easily beat the Timberwolves 102-86 in Minnesota. The Wolves didn't have a 25-point quarter in that loss, and they only ended up making 36.4 percent of their shot attempts.
Against the Warriors in his career, Wolves small forward Thaddeus Young has scored 14.1 points per game while grabbing 7.3 rebounds per game. Point guard Mo Williams has averaged 13.2 points and 4.8 assists per game against Golden State, while young center Gorgui Dieng has been able to average seven points and 7.7 rebounds per game against them.
On Thursday night, the Warriors played one of their worst games of the season when the Los Angeles Clippers beat them 100-86 on the road. They made just six of their 28 three-point attempts in that loss and ended up turning the ball over 16 times.
So far this season, the Warriors are near the top of the NBA in scoring, rebounding and assists per game.
