Anthony Edwards Leads Timberwolves to Victory Over Warriors

Anthony Edwards scored 42 points, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 127-117 win over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, March 13, 2026. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for Minnesota, all of which were double-digit defeats.

Game Highlights

Edwards shot 13-for-22 from the field and made all 12 of his free throw attempts, adding eight rebounds and five assists. Rudy Gobert contributed 18 points and nine rebounds for the Timberwolves. The Warriors were playing without several key players due to injury.

Warriors Face Injury Challenges

The Warriors were significantly undermanned, with Draymond Green scratched from the lineup less than an hour before tipoff due to a lower back injury. Kristaps Porzingis started in his place, marking the Warriors’ 33rd different starting five this season. Al Horford exited the game in the first quarter with right calf tightness, and Seth Curry left in the second half with tightness in his left inner thigh. Stephen Curry continues to be sidelined, missing his 16th consecutive game and not expected to return until at least the following weekend.

Key Performances

Brandin Podziemski led the Warriors with 25 points. Kristaps Porzingis added 20 points in his first start since being traded to Golden State from Atlanta.

Timberwolves Bounce Back

The Timberwolves responded to a brief Golden State rally in the fourth quarter with strong play, securing the win. Gui Santos’ 3-pointer and a dunk by Malevy Leons briefly cut Minnesota’s lead to 109-102, but the Warriors were unable to sustain the momentum.

Team Records

With the win, the Minnesota Timberwolves improved to 41-26. The Golden State Warriors fell to 32-34.
