Instant Replay: Warriors complete fourth-quarter comeback

BOX SCORE

Player of the gameThe Warriors got a game-leading 24 points from Klay Thompson, a season-high for the young forward, but Stephen Curry had an impressive stat line of 20 points, six assists and just three turnovers and was a 23 for Golden State.
Curry was 5-for-10 from three-point range, shooting 7-19 from the field over the course of the game, in which he played 39 minutes. It was a redemption of sorts, as the Warriors impressive guard scored just six points in Fridays loss to the Nuggets after getting in early foul trouble not recording his first point until the fourth quarter.
Carl Landry added 18 points off the bench, while David Lee finished with 17 for the Warriors.
The loss was Minnesotas fifth in a row, while the Warriors rebounded from Fridays disappointing loss in Denver to capture their fifth win in the last seven.
The Warriors have won 11 of their last 13 games against Minnesota.
Key stretchA dominant fourth quarter was the biggest reason the Warriors got their eighth victory of the season, as they erased a four-point deficit at the end of the third before taking over and cruising to victory through final quarter.

But, there was a stretch much earlier in the game that kept them in the game the first place.
Minnesota pulled ahead to an 11-point lead in the second quarter before the Warriors managed to find their shooting stroke and keep it close before the end of the half.
Curry led the way with three connections from three-point land, and was 4-for-6 from beyond the arc at the half.
The highlight for the home crowd, though, was a monstrous windmill jam from Harrison Barnes, when he soared through the air with just over two minutes left in the half, posterizing Minnesotas Nikola Pekovic.
Golden State tied the game at 47-47 before the Wolves scored the final four points of the first half to lead at the midway point.
Early sloppinessThe first quarter wasnt pretty for either side, and ended with the Wolves ahead, 18-16. Minnesota shot just 29 percent while Golden State wasnt much better at 39 percent. The teams combined to miss their first nine three-point attempts.
The lowlight for the Warriors came when they batted a loose ball into their own net. Kevin Love got credit for the field goal despite his shot clanking off of the rim, with Draymond Green and Andris Biedrins both going for the ball.
Whole Lotta LoveWhen asked what the biggest difference was between the Wolves team he was facing tonight and the one his club beat just eight days earlier, the answer was easy for Marc Jackson.
The main reason is an obvious one. They have a superstar back in the lineup, Jackson said, referring to Minnesota forward Kevin Love.
Love was playing in his third game of the season after recovering from a hand injury, and finished with 15 points and 15 boards.
His presence may have aided the Wolves on the defensive side of the ball, too, as Minnesota outscored the Warriors 46-36 in the paint.
Injury reportThe Timberwolves are still without dynamic point guard Ricky Rubio, who is expected back in the middle of next month. Golden State is still absent center Andrew Bogut, whose wonky left ankle has allowed him to play in just four games this season. He hopes to return Dec. 1.
Up nextThe Warriors remain at home to host the Nuggets at Oracle Arena on Thursday. Theyve lost both games to Denver this season, including Friday nights second-half collapse at Pepsi Arena, 102-91.
