Rudy Gobert also contributed 18 points and nine rebounds.
The Golden State Warriors lost Al Horford for the night in the first quarter because of right calf tightness, then Seth Curry exited in the second half with tightness in his left inner thigh.

It also marked the seventh time this season Golden State was without the trio of Jimmy Butler (ACL surgery), Steph Curry and Draymond Green.
This was the Warriors’ fourth straight, fourth loss at home, and sixth in seven.
Warriors is a visit to the New York Knicks on Sunday to begin a six-game road trip, while the Timberwolves face Oklahoma City on Sunday to conclude a four-game road stretch.
