The Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors meet as division leaders for the second time Thursday night when the two 30-game winners clash in a nationally televised duel of Western Conference challengers. Half the conference's contingent of 12 All-Stars will be on display when the Northwest Division frontrunner challenges the defending NBA champion from the Pacific Division for the first time since Nov. 8, when the Warriors prevailed 125-101 at home without Kevin Durant. The Warriors entered that game 8-3 and in first place in the Pacific.
