Story summary

On October 27, 2026, Stephen Curry scored a season-high 44 points as the Golden State Warriors narrowly defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis by a score of 119-114. The Timberwolves were without their star guard Anthony Edwards, who will miss at least two months due to knee surgery. Despite Curry's stellar performance, including going 16 for 16 from the free-throw line and contributing eight rebounds, the Warriors struggled to maintain a lead in the fourth quarter, nearly collapsing after holding a 24-point advantage early in the second half. Curry’s achievement ties him with LeBron James at 15 games scoring 40 points or more past age 35. The victory improved the Warriors' record to 2-3 for the season, but coach Steve Kerr acknowledged that his team needs to improve their closing ability.
