JAKARTA - Stephen Curry managed to appear as a differentiator to bring his team, the Golden State Warriors, to defeat the host Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2025-2026 NBA continuation match.
The intense fight between the two teams on Monday, January 26, 2026, was overshadowed by a sad atmosphere after the tension of the city of Minneapolis due to the shooting incident of civilians by federal agents.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr admitted that the atmosphere in the stadium was very emotional. The match, which was delayed for a day, opened with a moment of silence in honor of Alex Pretti, a resident who died in a security incident in the city.
"This is one of the strangest and saddest games I have ever been a part of. You can feel the burden this city is feeling," Kerr said, as reported by France 24.
In the match, Curry performed well and managed to score 26 points to lead the Warriors to a landslide victory 111-85. The victory was a personal record for Curry.
The sharpshooter now matches legend Paul Pierce's 19th-place finish on the all-time NBA scoring list with 26,397 points.
Although he was in doubt of appearing due to knee pain, Curry showed his professionalism by sweeping away nine free throws as well as contributing seven assists and four steals.
From the opposing team, Anthony Edwards was impressive with a double-double of 32 points and 11 rebounds. However, Edwards' individual performance failed to prevent the Timberwolves from their fifth consecutive defeat.
