MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Rudy Gobert had 15 points and 17 rebounds as the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 108-83 on Monday night in a game missing much of its usual star power.
The Warriors were playing without starters Stephen Curry (knee) and Draymond Green (back), while Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards was a late scratch to rest an recurring right foot injury.
Julius Randle led Minnesota with 18 points and Bones Hyland chipped in 17. Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo each scored 15 for the Timberwolves, who snapped a five-game losing streak, their longest skid since they lost five straight in December 2022.
Quinten Post led Golden State with 13 points. Brandin Podziemski scored 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds, while Gui Santos had 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Warriors, who shot a season-low 23.1% (9 for 39) on 3-pointers.
One night after the Warriors snapped Minnesota's 103-game streak of scoring at least 100 points — the third-longest in NBA history — the Timberwolves overcame a cold start from the floor and 23 turnovers.
Minnesota took control of the game with a 21-4 run to end the second quarter. Randle scored 10 points in the run, which gave the Timberwolves a 53-38 halftime lead.
The Timberwolves started out cold, making just two of their first 12 shots and missing seven of their first eight 3-pointers. That opened the door for a 13-0 Golden State run and an early 16-8 lead for the Warriors.
Hyland led a Minnesota surge with three transition layups and Reid's first 3-pointer helped the Timberwolves take a 21-20 lead after one quarter.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Hours before a deadly explosion ripped through a Pennsylvania nursing home last month, staff grew concerned about the smell of natural gas on several floors and brought in workers from the local utility company to check it out, federal regulators said Wednesday.
The preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board provides details about the three hours that passed between the report of a gas odor and the thunderous blast in Bristol, just outside Philadelphia, as well as how utility workers were on the scene for much of that time. It also notes that a utility worker traced the leak to a valve in a meter set in the basement boiler room.
While the presence of utility workers and witness accounts of a heavy gas smell in the explosion's aftermath raised questions about a possible leak, PECO had said at the time it could not determine the cause or whether its equipment was involved.
Two residents and an employee were killed and about 20 people injured, including one of the utility workers, just a few days before Christmas. Part of the building collapsed, trapping people inside, as emergency workers, staff and even medics from a nearby hospital rushed to evacuate people.
Exelon, PECO’s parent company, shut off the gas flow to the facility almost two hours after the explosion, according to the report. It’s not clear why it took that long to do so.
Investigators plan to focus on Exelon’s pipeline safety management and how it trains people, their qualifications, “odor complaint response” and other factors.
With the new report, a PECO spokesperson said the company recognizes “the importance of continuous improvement and vigilance with respect to the safe and reliable delivery of electric and natural gas service.” The emailed statement expressed sympathy to the victims and their families, to displaced residents and to the wider community.
According to the report, a maintenance director at Bristol Health & Rehab Center reported the smell of natural gas in the basement on Dec. 23 and called the utility company. The PECO worker arrived at Bristol Health & Rehab Center just before noon, about an hour after the odor was detected. Staff also smelled gas on the first and second floors.
The Exelon energy technician determined there was a leak on a meter set valve in the basement and called for help fixing it. A meter set includes the meter, regulator, piping, valves and fittings.
An Exelon foreman sent out a meter services technician to make the repair. He arrived at about 1:20 p.m. The explosion occurred at around 2:15 p.m.
Federal inspectors say the line and gas equipment have been tested, with some items sent to a lab for more study.
