In case you slept your way through it last night…

Here's the final game story and lots of post-game video after the Timberwolves came back from 17 points behind to beat the mighty Warriors in overtime Tuesday night at Oracle Arena.

The bonus-length online gamer and video tells the story from the Wolves side. The Warriors, meanwhile, lost in overtime for the first time this season after winning their first six times there, lost at home for only the second time this season (after Friday's loss to Boston) and now must win out in the final four games to surpass the 1995-96 Bulls' 72-10 all-time record.

The Wolves forced 24 Golden State turnovers and went 28-for-36 from the free-throw line while the now 69-9 Warriors shot only eight free throws and made seven of them.

About that disparity, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, "I've got no complaints about the free-throw disparity. They earned it. They were the aggressors. They attacked us and we were on our heels after the first part of the game."

You could look at the fourth quarter's final 4:09 in which the Warriors led by six points or in overtime and say either place is where Golden State lost the game.

Kerr called the first quarter's midway point the night's turning point, after his team came out to a 25-10 lead.

"I told them I thought we lost the game in the last six minutes of the first quarter, if that makes any sense," Kerr said, referring to his post-game, locker-room address. "We came out and played a phenomenal first six minutes, locked in on both ends. Then we decided to turn it into a show and we started to turn the ball over like crazy. That last part of the first, early part of the second quarter we completely lost all of our rhythm that we had built. From that point on, we just couldn't get anything going."

The Warriors still led 44-36 with 4:40 left before halftime. By then, Wolves reserve forward Shabazz Muhammad had scored 13 points on his way to a career-high 35 while Wolves star Andrew Wiggins and Warriors superstar Stephen Curry each was scoreless.

Well, you don't see that every day…Wiggins scored 27 of his 32 points after halftime and with Karl-Anthony Towns primarily chasing Curry out beyond the three-point line on pick-and-roll plays, Curry needed 25 shots (7-for-25) to score 21 points. He did have 15 assists, though.

You also don't see the Warriors throw the ball around like that did, to the tune of 24 turnovers. A lot of that was the defensive strategy – switch everything on those pick-and-rolls – they carried over from that five-point loss to Golden State at Target Center a couple weeks ago.
Part of it was what Kerr called swinging for the fences.

"We always talk to our guys about hitting the first open man," Kerr said. "We are not hitting the first open man. We are trying to make the great play. We are trying to hit the home run instead of a bunch of singles. When we start doing that, it takes away from the rhythm of the game and usually leads to turnovers. In this league, with the athletes that everybody has, particularly Minnesota with the speed they have, if you turn it over or take bad shots without good transition defense set up, then you are in a lot of trouble."

The Warriors now have lost twice in five days at home after they went more than 14 months and 54 regular-season games without a loss.

understandable the Warriors probably have lost a little focus here late in a season when have been so dominant and with their pursuit of the Bulls' all-time record.

Curry said after last night's game that he doesn't believe all that history is a burden.

"I don't think so," he said after missing all eight shots (including five three-pointers) he attempted in the first half. "We put ourselves in a position that it's a realistic goal. We've got to embrace the challenge. It's obviously not easy to get it done. We're proving that right now. I don't think it's anything that's weighing us down or anything like that on the floor. We just haven't played well in the last two of three home games. It's amplified now because we're so close to the goal. We needed a challenge for us and it's something we need to focus on these last four games."

The Warriors play rival San Antonio and Memphis twice each in their last four games. For as long good as the Warriors have been this season and for so long, they only lead the Spurs by 3 ½ games going into these final four games.

Can't wait to see that seven-game Western Conference finals series…
