ANDREW Wiggins scorched his old team for a season-high 35 points Wednesday night (Thursday in Manila) as the Golden State Warriors overcame a career-best 48-point performance by the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards for a 123-110 victory at San Francisco.
Stephen Curry chipped in with 25 points for the Warriors, who won a sixth straight despite losing Draymond Green for the rest of the game in the third quarter with a bruised right thigh.
D’Angelo Russell, playing for the first time in the Bay Area since the Warriors traded him for a package that included Wiggins in February 2020, had 18 points for the Timberwolves, who lost their sixth in a row.
Thanks in large part to Wiggins’ 22 points in the first half, the Warriors led most of the way, including by as many as 20 late in the second quarter and early in the third.
In other games, it was the Lakers 120, Heat 117 (OT); Celtics 104, Raptors 88; Wizards 97, Cavaliers 94; Bulls 117, Mavericks 107; Pistons 112, Rockets 104; Hornets 118, Grizzlies 108; Spurs 136, Kings 117; Nuggets 101, Pacers 98; Bucks 112, Knicks 100; Nets 123, Magic 90; Suns 119, Blazers 109; and Thunder 108, Pelicans 100.
