WARRIORS RUN ROUGHSHOD OVER WOLVES ON THE ROAD

Stephen Curry scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and missed a triple-double by just two assists, and Golden State parlayed a hot start into a comfortable 137-114 win over Minnesota on Sunday.

Draymond Green finished with 19 points and 11 assists as the defending champs won three straight games for the first time this season.

It was just the second away victory of the season for the Warriors for 11-10, the first time in a month they have been above .500.

The Warriors, seemingly determined to turn around their dismal fortunes on the road, exploded out of the gate with a 17-0 scoring run on the way to 47 first-quarter points and a 20-point lead going into the second period.

Six Warriors players finished in double figures, with Klay Thompson posting 21 and Jordan Poole adding 24 off the bench.

“I think what really propelled us that first half, especially defensively, is not fouling,” Thompson said. “As simple as it sounds, it has us playing at such a higher level.

“Our defense obviously fuels our offense, getting out in transition, hitting the open man. And it’s crazy how when we play simple basketball, it’s a thing of beauty.”

The Warriors will try to build more momentum on the road when they travel to Dallas for a Western Conference finals rematch on Tuesday.
