Dubs point guard, Stephen Curry scored 36 points, including 22 in the third quarter, and Klay Thompson added 28 points to fire the Warriors to a 117-107 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis.

A night after scoring just 14 points on 5-of-18 shooting from the field in a loss at San Antonio, Thompson scored 15 points in the first period, going a perfect 5-of-5 from the field and 3-of-3 from beyond the arc.

Minnesota trailed 59-47 entering the third quarter before going on a 14-2 run, tying the game at 61-all. That’s when Curry took over, scoring eight points in a 94-second span as the Warriors wrested control of the game.

In the middle of his prolific third-quarter scoring spree, Curry connected on his 300th three-pointer of the season to put the Warriors up 80-68. He wound up 8-of-14 on the night from long distance.

The Warriors opened up a 91-75 lead to start the fourth quarter and pushed their advantage to 101-81 on Thompson’s fourth three-pointer of the game.

However, Minnesota cut the deficit to 11 on a Josh Okogie lay-up with 4:06 left. Tyus Jones sank two free throws with 2:27 remaining and Minnesota trailed 112-103.

The Warriors turned to Curry, who connected on another trey to make the game safe.

For the 30th time this season, Golden State recorded more than 30 assists. The Warriors assisted on their first 19 baskets of the game and finished with 39 assists on 44 made buckets.

Karl-Anthony Towns scored 26 points and grabbed 21 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who saw their six-game home winning streak come to a harsh end.
