The Golden State Warriors produced a valiant effort in Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves absent superstar point guard Stephen Curry, but ultimately came up just a little bit short.

STEPHEN CURRY HAD just found Draymond Green open on the wing for a 3-pointer, giving the Golden State Warriors a 30-20 lead Tuesday night in the second quarter of Game 1 and forcing the Minnesota Timberwolves to call a timeout.

Draymond Green was issued a technical foul during the second quarter of Thursday's clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves after he hit Naz Reid in the face with his arm while attempting to make a pass.
