After the NBA postponed the planned match between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors, the rescheduled game opened with a tribute to ICU nurse Alex Pretti, who was gunned down by federal agents yesterday.
Stephen Curry scored 26 points to lead the Golden State Warriors past Minnesota 111-85 in the fifth straight loss for the Timberwolves and their longest skid in more than three years.
The Golden State Warriors are in action on Sunday, but they could be without two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry. The Warriors were scheduled to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, but the NBA postponed the game due to unrest in Minneapolis.
I’m more than a resident,” Chris Finch said. “This is my home. I love living here. I love being a part of this community.”
Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch and Golden State Warriors' coach Steve Kerr gave statements on Alex Pretti's shooting death by a Border Patrol agent before Sunday's game at Target Center.
We feel like we’ve got a lot of work to do.” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he spoke directly with Finch and with Wolves veteran Joe Ingles, who relayed to Kerr that the team was shaken and preferred not to play on Saturday.
The Vikings, Wild, Timberwolves and Lynx as well as the NBPA spoke out Sunday about the fatal shootings by federal agents in the state, calling for a de-escalation of tensions and peace.
"The Timberwolves pursuing Coby White with an offer around Mike Conley, Terrence Shannon Jr., and multiple second-round picks is a deadline deal worth monitoring. Minnesota and Chicago have reportedly remained in contact as the Wolves search the marketplace for a combo guard."
"We have no defensive personality right now," coach Chris Finch said after Minnesota lost its fourth straight game Thursday.
