Through 0 Quarter

A victory for the Minnesota Timberwolves would push them above even, but the Golden State Warriors are definitely not making it easy for them. Minnesota currently holds a 2 to nothing lead.

The Timberwolves have been relying on small forward Jaden McDaniels, who has two points, and center Naz Reid, who has zero points. Golden State hasn't had any offensive standouts so far with all players held to zero points or fewer.

this is the first time they have ever been down going into the first quarter

What to Know

The Golden State Warriors need to shore up a defense that is allowing 118.33 points per game before their contest Sunday. They will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at 7:30 p.m. ET at home. The Dubs will be strutting in after a victory while Minnesota will be stumbling in from a loss.

While not quite a landslide, the matchup between the Warriors and the Houston Rockets this past Friday was still a pretty decisive one as Golden State wrapped it up with a 116-101 win at home. The Dubs' shooting guard Klay Thompson was on fire, shooting 12-for-17 from beyond the arc and finishing with 42 points and seven boards.

Meanwhile, the point spread favored Minnesota this past Friday, but luck did not. They came up short against the Charlotte Hornets, falling 121-113. Despite the defeat, Minnesota had strong showings from shooting guard Anthony Edwards, who had 29 points and five assists along with eight rebounds, and center Rudy Gobert, who posted a double-double on 17 points and ten boards in addition to three blocks. That makes it four consecutive games in which Gobert has had at least ten rebounds.

In the teams' previous meeting earlier this month, Golden State was in the race but had to settle for second with a 119-114 finish. Maybe they will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
