But Curry's loud, productive reappearance didn't set this shaky Warriors' season back on course. Golden State lost 127-120 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were missing Anthony Edwards. The Warriors gave up 39 fourth-quarter points to watch their record tumble to 13-13."Our defense let us down tonight," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. Without Curry, the Warriors held four of their previous five opponents below 100 points and won three of those games.

  • "But we didn't have them.
