\"goldenGolden State Warriors went in as the favourites<\/a> when they played the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/strong> on Sunday evening. <\/p>\n

The Warriors who are the defending champions were without their star player Stephen Curry<\/strong> and his absence hurt the Warriors as the Timberwolves played a great game to finish 109-103<\/em> at the Target Center.<\/p>\n

Too Much Work For Kevin Durant<\/h2>\n

Kevin Durant<\/a> knew that he had to raise his game to make up for the absence of Curry. Durant played well but his teammates were just unable to give him the usual support that he has gone accustomed to. Credit must also be given to the way the Timberwolves fought back and exposed weaknesses in the Warrior\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n

This is the second consecutive defeat in the NBA<\/a> that the Warriors have suffered but they are still in a good position on the points table. The Warriors have so far played 51 games and lost just 16 and hold the second spot on the Western Conference points table. The Houston Rockets<\/strong> are just ahead having played 52 games and losing 14 times.<\/p>\n
