Warriors miss all five 3-point tries in first half before Buddy Hield connects early in third

With the NBA all-time 3-point leader Stephen Curry relegated to cheering while sidelined by a hamstring injury and sporting a gray sweatsuit on the bench, the Golden State Warriors struggled to establish their long-range game in a 102-97 Game 3 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night. Golden State missed its first five tries from beyond the arc before Buddy Hield connected 35 seconds into the third quarter. The Warriors came into Game 3 against Minnesota with a playoff-leading 135 3-pointers.
