On defense, Gary Payton II stood out with two blocks and two steals, contributing to limiting opportunities for Minnesota's offense. The team's collective effort on both ends of the court was evident in their statistics: they achieved a higher field goal percentage (47 percent) compared to Minnesota (46 percent), dominated second-chance points (19-4), and capitalized on turnovers scoring 24 points off them.


The Timberwolves fought valiantly but struggled to maintain their early momentum into later stages of the game. Despite leading by as much as 12 points at one point, they couldn't withstand Golden State's third-quarter surge where they scored an overwhelming 44 points against Minnesota’s defense.
