The Warriors have slipped closer to the 'other end of the standings' they never thought they'd see
The Golden State Warriors have slipped into precarious position for the postseason
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — All Steph Curry could do was watch from the Golden State bench during a takeover led by Minnesota's subs early in the fourth quarter.
The Warriors have slipped into precarious position for the postseason, and they're having a hard time finding their footing in this unfamiliar spot.
Starting a five-games-in-eight-days trip, coach Steve Kerr exercised caution with his 10-time All-Star point guard by extending the 36-year-old's rest period well into the fourth quarter. The Timberwolves, coincidentally or not, had a plus-12 advantage during his last absence of the game on Sunday.
By the time Curry checked back in with 6:54 to go, the Warriors trailed by eight points. They fell 114-110 to the Wolves, their sixth loss in their last nine games. In a 12-point loss at home to Indiana on Friday, Curry played 35 minutes.
