Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET the Golden State Warriors (3-1) will head to Minnesota to face off with Kevin Love and the Timberwolves (3-1) in what promises to be a high-scoring affair that can be live streamed here. Warriors fans can listen to the game on KNBR 680, while Wolves fans can hear the action on 1500 ESPN Twin Cities.
Both squads are easily eclipsing 100 points per game, with Golden State in particular lighting up the scoreboard incessantly (112 PPG). Klay Thompson is the one leading the charge, posting 22.5 points a night for the sweet-shooting Warriors.
Still, point guard Stephen Curry is the straw stirring Golden State's drink, something head coach Mark Jackson's acknowledged. "He's done everything right for me, put me in position to be a successful coach," Jackson said. Curry's put up 22 points a night and is two-tenths of an assist shy of averaging a double-double through four games.
New acquisition Andre Iguodala has fit in seamlessly with Curry and Thompson to form one of the most fluid backcourts in the entire league. "We have a really great group and our offense flows really well," said Iguodala. "We share the ball. We have two of the best shooters in the league of all time, and it gives us really good spacing."
The Wolves were riding high at 3-0 before stumbling on Monday against the Cavaliers. "It seemed like K-Mart was really the only guy that could find his legs from outside tonight but we'll get a chance to rest (Tuesday)," Love said. "I mention that short term memory - win or lose we just have to get back on that grind."
Tonight's big man battle should be interesting as well, as both teams boast seven-footers at center, Andrew Bogut (Golden State) and Nikola Pekovic (Minnesota), as well as rebounding machines manning the four, David Lee and Love.
