What we learned as Warriors struggle without Steph Curry in loss to Timberwolves

It took a total team effort for the Warriors, on a night where they used all their healthy players, to run away with an easy win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night. Missing multiple players one night later, the results weren’t quite the same for the Warriors. Already down Jimmy Butler for the rest of the season, the Warriors also didn’t have Steph Curry, Draymond Green, De’Anthony Melton, Al Horford, Jonathan Kuminga and Seth Curry. That called for a makeshift starting five of Pat Spencer, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Gui Santos and Quinten Post. Effort wasn’t lacking, but the absence of any starpower was too much to overcome a Timberwolves team that didn’t even have Anthony Edwards in a 108-83 blowout loss Monday night at Target Center To put the loss into context, the Warriors’ 57 points entering the fourth quarter were their fewest through three quarters in the past five seasons. Though all five starters scored in double figures for the third game this season, nobody had more than Post’s team-high 13 points.  Pat goes behind his back to set up a QP 3 ‍pic.twitter.com/hFbN8YOprG — Warriors...
