The Warriors built a 14-point lead Wednesday night in Minnesota but couldn't hold on and lost in overtime.
Curry will push to play Thursday in Denver, but after 43 minutes in a loss, he might lose that argument.Whether it was a message relayed from players and coaches, or possibly just by chance, the Warriors finally helped themselves out at the free-throw line. Coming into Wednesday night, the Warriors ranked dead last in free-throw attempts per game and 29th in makes By halftime in Minnesota, the Warriors were 18-for-20 at the line.
They finished 27 of 34 from the line, numbers that don't even seem possible the way this season has gone. That marks a season-high in made free throws and fell two short on attempts. The Warriors have taken 30 or free throws twice this season now. Seven Warriors got to the line and six made free throws. Though the final score wasn't in their favor, this is a trend that must continue.At this point, there's no questioning it. The Warriors when healthy are going to start small, pushing Kevon Looney to the bench. That isn't a demotion for the big man, though.
Instead, it's another example of how much Kerr trusts the veteran center. Wednesday was another example why. Looney played 28 minutes and was a team-high plus-12 in plus/minus. He scored 20 points while going 4-for-5 from the field and added nine rebounds. The Warriors were a better unit with him on the floor.
