Golden State Warriors-Minnesota Timberwolves podcast by Mauricio Segura:

The NBA had ordered on Saturday that the game between the Golden State Warriors at Minnesota Timberwolves after a second fatal shooting by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. The NBA made the decision to cancel game one of a two game series due to “Prioritze the safety and security of the Minneapolis community.” This after 37 year old victim Alex Pretti was gunned down by ICE officers two miles outside of downtown Minneapolis where Target Center is located the home of the Timberwolves.

Pretti was a intensive care nurse at the Veterans Administration. DHS secretary Kristen Noam said that Pretti was a domestic terrorist who was armed and was a threat to ICE officers and that officers had no choice but to kill Pretti. After watching the video taken from witnesses analysts say that Pretti did not unholster a weapon if he even had a weapon as ICE says he had according to news reports.

Pretti was shot some eight times by ICE officers with Noam saying the killing was justified. Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr who had been vocal about gun violence as his own father was murdered by gun violence had been a vocal advocate against gun useage and had made a statement when Minnesota citizen Renne Good was shot by ICE officer Jonathan Ross killing Good who was trying to drive away from Ross.

The Timberwolves called for a moment of silence after the Good shooting before one of their home games after the shooting coach Kerr said, “I’m glad the Timberwolves recgonized her life and the tragic nature of her death it’s shameful really that in our country we can have law enforcement officers commit murder semmingly get away with it. It’s shameful the government can come out and lie about what happened when there’s video witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying. So very demoralizing, devestasting, to lose anyone’s life especially in that matter so it’s terrible, terrible, I’m really sad for her family for her and that city and for the Timberwolves I’m glad they came out and expressed that sadness.”

That’s Amaury News and Commentary: The Warriors and Draymond – A Soap Opera

The Warriors and Draymond – A Soap Opera

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-González

In the United States, Soap Operas have been a staple on television for decades. Guiding Light, General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and the Restless, As the World Turns, and others. Guiding Light (which ran for a combined 72 years on radio and television) is almost as long as the NBA, which was founded in 1946.

We can also include Spanish-language TV soaps, some of which are international and generational. The Warriors and Draymond are currently the longest-running NBA Soap Opera. From the 2016-17 season, when he called the Warriors “the greatest team the NBA has ever seen,” to a couple of weeks ago, he spoke about his heated exchange with coach Steve Kerr.

Some other comments are on his podcast, like when he called out Nicki Minaj for repeatedly mentioning LeBron James in her songs; ‘Is Nicki going to say ‘Bron in every song? At some point, it just becomes too repetitive,” Post-game comments about his team from: ‘we s…tonight’ to others of his greatest hits. And many other “episodes” on and off the court that are always interesting.

The forward and power forward, sometimes center, is a very talented player. Not only does he show you his 4 NBA Championship rings, accolades, including the 2017 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, and his 4-time NBA All-Star status, but he can also talk to you about the two Olympic Medals he won with Team USA. Draymond is the Warriors’ defensive anchor and emotional leader, but it is his defensive skills that set him apart; he sees the court very well and has the talent to guard all five positions.

As of today, I consider Draymond Green a good bet for the NBA Hall of Fame. His stats are there; he reminds me of Dennis Rodman (NBA Hall of Fame), who was a great rebounder and defender in NBA history. He was a key player on the Chicago Bulls’ 5 World Championships, always controversial, but a great shot blocker.

I covered those teams when I was broadcasting Warriors games, home and away, in the 1990s, as I also remember a guy named Steve Kerr a brilliant guard-point guard and excellent shooter, who played with those great Michael Jordan-era championship teams.

Enjoy Draymond and the Warriors Sopa Opera. I like Draymond. He is fun, and it makes it a good show, and that is what the fans want, of course, as long as you can win, ‘it’s all good’. I can see Draymond on television with his own show; his personality reminds me of Charles Barkley, never, ever lost for words!

Quote: ‘Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships- Michael Jordan.

Curry leads Golden State with 27 points to defeat Brooklyn 120-107

By Jessica Kwong

BROOKLYN, NY. — Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors (17-16) to a 120-107 win over the Brooklyn Nets (10-20) at Barclays Center on Monday night – while passing Kevin Garnett to reach No. 21 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Curry said he could speak about each player he has passed on the league’s career points leaderboard, but “at this stage it’s just all icons, all legends, all guys that I loved watching play, define the era that they played in”. 

“So to pass those type of individuals and especially a guy like KD – I mean KG – a champ and what his career meant, is special for sure,” said Curry. “So each guy I pass, I’m honored.”

Curry finished with 27 points and Jimmy Butler with 21 to give the Warriors their fourth win in five contests, and snap the Nets’ three-game winning streak. 

The Warriors had a lackluster first quarter and at one point were down by as many as 13 points. But they stayed in it and captured a 2-point lead at the half. 

In the third quarter, Curry got into this rhythm and scored 10 straight points including two 3-pointers, a field goal and two free throws, to put Golden State up 89-85.

“They got off to such a hot start and kind of picked apart our zone. They made a couple of late 3’s, late shot clock 3’s early,” said Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.

“Once we switched to our man-to-man, we had pretty good attention on Cam Thomas and Michael Porter Jr. even though both guys had it going a little but, I thought in the fourth quarter our attention to Porter Jr. in particular was really good.” 

The Nets (10-20) went on a 8-0 run with less than five minutes left in the fourth quarter and trailed 107-103 after Terance Mann made two of three free throws.

With less than a minute left in the game, Curry went to the free throw line and made the first to “MVP” chants – but surprisingly missed the second.

“Probably one of the few times that I had the MVP chant and I missed the last free throw, hitting the stride a little bit,” Curry joked.

“But I’m definitely grateful for it (MVP chants), it keeps you going, it picks you up even on a back-to-back when it might be a little bit tough to find some energy, for a road crowd to give you that, you feed off it, it’s special.”

Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 11 points and De’Anthony Melton had 10 to help boost the Warriors after their overtime loss to Toronto on Sunday.

“I think just with the back-to-back, just kind of gotta get yourself going,” said Jackson-Davis.

“I didn’t play last game so I felt like I could help bring the energy up, just go out there. It starts on the defensive end of the floor, so good stops and start running, and see if our teammates can build off that.”

The Warriors (17-16) are now 7-12 in away games. They continue on their three-game road trip on Wednesday, facing the Charlotte Hornets (11-21) at 10 a.m. PT. 

Abracadabra: The Golden State Warriors Beat The Orlando Magic, 120-97

SAN FRANCISCO – The Golden State Warriors defeated the Orlando Magic 120-97 on Tuesday night at Chase Center, pulling away in the fourth quarter for a major home victory on City Edition Night.

The Golden State was wearing Nike NBA City Edition uniforms, which pay tribute to the team’s Oakland history. The jerseys feature Oakland’s iconic tree, which represents strength and growth, while the shorts reflect the Bay Bridge’s suspension cables, highlighting both the team’s history and its present.

Both squads entered the game with momentum after breaking their losing streaks two days prior, and their sense of urgency to keep winning was evident. The Warriors began the game with a starting lineup of Moses Moody, Quinten Post, Jimmy Butler III, Draymond Green, and Stephen Curry.

Curry added another milestone to his remarkable career, extending his streak of 70 consecutive games with a made three-point field goal, the NBA’s longest active streak, after hitting a three in the first half.

Despite the historic moment, the Golden State struggled to shoot from beyond the arc early on. In the first half, the Warriors shot 3-of-18 (16.7%) from three-point range and committed five turnovers, matching their turnover total at halfway the previous game. However, Golden State took a small 58-57 lead into halftime, relying on defensive tenacity and interior scoring. Moses Moody led the Warriors at halftime with 11 points, going 4-for-6 from the floor, including 2-for-4 from three.

Golden State regained its flow after halftime thanks to Stephen Curry’s third-quarter eruption. Curry scored 15 points in the third, helping the Warriors gain momentum and take an 84-81 lead with little over two minutes left in the quarter.

The game was physical throughout, with both teams constantly attacking the paint. Each team finished with more than 40 points in the paint, as hustle plays, loose balls, and contested possessions defined the night. Every basket felt earned, with early holiday-level passion on both sides of the court.

The Warriors blew up the game early in the fourth quarter. Orlando was scoreless for the first three minutes, while Golden State went on a 10-0 run to increase their lead. Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody gave energy and crucial scoring down the line, as Orlando missed its final eight attempts.

Golden State’s confidence grew as the quarter went on. Four Warriors scored in double digits, and the squad forced 17 Orlando turnovers before the halfway point of the fourth quarter. With perimeter shooting still poor, Golden State focused on the interior, scoring 60 points in the paint in the final two minutes of play.

It was pretty clear Golden State won when the score hit 113-94. The Warriors relied on hustling, ball movement, and key bench performances to capitalize on their minutes and stay focused until the final buzzer.

Golden State won 120-97, improving to 9-4 at home. The Warriors’ mentality was based on resilience and toughness in the paint, and they delivered, limiting the Orlando Magic to 14 points in the final quarter. Stephen Curry led Golden State with 26 points, going 10-for-23 from the floor and adding six assists and three rebounds. With the victory, the Warriors returned to .500 for the first time since December 12th, extending their winning run to two games.

Golden State will now focus on a big game on Christmas Day, when the Warriors face the Dallas Mavericks at 2 p.m., live on ABC/ESPN. The game will be the Warriors’ first look at No. 1 overall draft pick Cooper Flagg, who came in averaging 18.8 points per game, and former Golden State, 4-time NBA Champion, Klay Thompson returns to the Bay.

SAN FRANCISCO – The Golden State Warriors began their Saturday evening game at 5:30 p.m. inside Chase Center against the Phoenix Suns (15-12), who started the night and stayed seventh in the Western Conference. The game marked Golden State’s Native American Heritage Night, as the Warriors fought and ultimately ended a three-game losing streak with a 119-116 win over the Suns. It was the teams’ third meeting this season, with Phoenix defeating Golden State 99-98 in Arizona on December 18, matching the season series at 1-1.

Golden State came into the game averaging 113.8 points per game, while Phoenix allowed 113.9 points per game defensively. The Warriors also finished 3-2 against division opponents. Head coach Steve Kerr started Jimmy Butler III, Draymond Green, Quinten Post, Moses Moody, and Stephen Curry, who averaged 28.8 points and four rebounds per game this season.

Despite Butler’s strong first-quarter performance of 10 points, the Warriors fell behind early on. Brandin Podziemski scored eight points, but Golden State struggled defensively, trailing 44-32 at the end of the first quarter. The Warriors committed five turnovers and shot 13-of-23 (56.5%) from the field, while Phoenix capitalized on Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks’ hot shooting, scoring 11 and 12 points, respectively.

Golden State’s night took a turn in the second quarter when Draymond Green was ejecteded for two quick technical fouls. Green finished with four points, three rebounds, and an assist. The Warriors responded by increasing their depth in the rotation and intensifying their play. Will Richard, a rookie, had an immediate impact by hitting a perfect 3-of-3 from the field and 2-of-2 from three, totaling eight points and three rebounds.

The Warriors dominated the glass, outrebounding Phoenix 24-15 in the first half, but the Suns kept the lead with smart offense, hitting 26-of-47 (55.3%) and 7-of-17 (41.2%) from three. De’Anthony Melton made two of three free throws after getting fouled on a three-point try in the final seconds of the half, and Richard added a fast putback to close the gap on Melton’s last attempt. Phoenix led 67-64 at halftime.

Golden State began the third quarter with renewed energy. Jimmy Butler scored seven straight points, bringing his total to 17 before the halfway mark of the quarter, as the Warriors staged a comeback. Phoenix committed four early fouls, which allowed Golden State to find its attacking rhythm. The Warriors seized their first lead since the opening minutes when Gary Payton II hit a three-pointer, making it 79-76.

From there, the Warriors gained control thanks to their defensive energy and timely shooting. Richard continued to impress, hitting two major three-pointers that excited the Chase Center crowd. Phoenix struggled at the free-throw line during the quarter, going 16-of-20 after being flawless earlier. Butler and Richard had each scored more than 20 points by the end of the third quarter, and Golden State led 93-87 heading into the fourth.

The Warriors played smart basketball in the fourth quarter, focusing on spacing, ball movement, and tough defense. Stephen Curry’s leadership was noticed as he handled traffic offensively, hustled in transition defense, and kept the team focused. Golden State extended its lead to 11 points, 103-92, with seven minutes left.

Phoenix made one more effort behind Booker, who scored three consecutive baskets, including a three-point play, to cut the advantage to 109-105 with less than two minutes remaining. Curry responded with a deep 30-foot three-pointer, but the Suns continued to reply. Jimmy Butler made a three-point play to put the Warriors up 115-110, but Booker responded with another three-point play to make it 115-113.

Collin Gillespie missed a three-pointer that would have given the Suns the lead. Curry was fouled on the next possession and missed his last free throw attempt, but Gillespie next hit a tough three to get Phoenix within one point, 117-116, with nine seconds left. Golden State performed well under pressure, with Curry finishing with a reverse layup to increase the lead to three. Phoenix failed to take a shot on its final possession.

The Warriors rallied from 14 points down to win 119-116, stopping a three-game losing streak. Curry led Golden State with 28 points, going 9-for-19 from the field and 4-for-11 from beyond the arc, while also scoring a double-double with 10 rebounds.

Richard added 20 points and five rebounds, while the Warriors’ bench scored 52 points. Golden State improved to 14-15, eighth in the Western Conference, after going 4-6 in its previous ten games. The victory also gave the Warriors a 2-1 lead in the season series with the Suns. The Golden State Warriors ( 14-15) are scheduled to defend their home against the Orlando Magic at Chase Center on Monday, December 22, at 7 p.m.

Golden State defeats New Orleans Pelicans on Filipino Heritage Night, 104-96

SAN FRANCISCO – On a cool Saturday evening in San Francisco, the Golden State Warriors faced the New Orleans Pelicans at 5:30 p.m. inside Chase Center for Filipino Heritage Night. The game marks the teams’ second clash this season, with Golden State winning the previous 124-106 on November 17 at New Orleans. In the game, Warriors guard Moses Moody scored 32 points to lead his team on the road.

This also marked the return of former Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney. Looney was drafted by Golden State in 2015 and spent a decade as a fierce rebounder and versatile defender, winning championships in 2017, 2018, and 2022 while filling any role coach Steve Kerr asked of him. This summer, he agreed to a two-year, $16 million contract with the New Orleans Pelicans. During his time in the Bay, the Warriors paid him tributes through video and warm welcomes from former teammates.

Golden State had to play the game without Stephen Curry. The Warriors have an offensive rating of 118.2 with him on the court and 105.2 without him. The team is prepared to play a few games without him. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had this to say about the situation. “Its a good opportunity for us to forge an identity without him… but this year were not playing well with and without him. So we have a chance to show the league what we can do with and without him.”

Quinten Post made the Warriors’ first three-pointer of the game, putting them on the board. However, that would be their only shot from beyond the arc throughout the first quarter. The long-range problems continued into the second half, with Golden State hitting only 2-for-22 from three in the first half, for a cold 9.1%. Despite their terrible outside shooting, the Warriors remained competitive by attacking in transition and creating scoring opportunities with cuts in the paint.

A major momentum shift happened midway through the second quarter when Micah Peavy of New Orleans committed a common foul on Jimmy Butler III that was reviewed and raised to a flagrant 1. Butler made the free throws, and the action shifted momentum back to Golden State. The Warriors then completed the half strongly, going 8-for-9 at the line to reclaim control.

Golden State led 42-38 at halftime, combining their defensive effort with improved ball movement to reach a rhythm late in the half. Through two quarters, the Warriors had 25 rebounds and 11 assists, led by standout performances from Gary Payton II (12 points, 5 rebounds) and Jimmy Butler III (11 points, six rebounds, five assists).

New Orleans struggled from deep as well, matching Golden State’s 9.1% outside shooting with a 1-for-11 performance from three. Zion Williamson led the Pelicans with 6 points and 3 rebounds, but he received two personal fouls, limiting the impact he had.

Both teams returned from halftime with renewed energy, especially from beyond the arc. After a sluggish first half, the Warriors eventually found their shooting rhythm in the third quarter, hitting five three-pointers to spark the offense. Brandin Podziemski had a stunning stretch in the quarter, scoring ten points, while Jimmy Butler III continued his stellar performance with eight points. Golden State’s ball movement also improved significantly, with the team racking up ten assists in the third quarter as backdoor cuts and fast passes regularly broke down the Pelicans’ defense.

New Orleans answered with a surge of its own. Zion Williamson led the Pelicans with 11 points in the third quarter, attacking downhill and forcing the Warriors to adjust defensively. Jeremiah Fears contributed a crucial 8 points, allowing New Orleans to keep up during the back-and-forth momentum swings.

As the game approached the final five minutes of regulation, the intensity only grew. With both teams trading baskets and defensive stops, the score drew closer and eventually tied at 87-87.

In the final stretch, Golden State took control because of brilliant offensive execution, aggressive rebounding, and accurate ball movement. Podziemski made his third three-pointer to increase the lead, and the Pelicans battled to keep up with the Warriors’ tempo. Several Warriors players finished with double-digit figures, featuring Draymond Green, who had nine rebounds and four assists, earning his only points in the final 40 seconds on a technical foul. New Orleans’ Jeremiah Fears was removed with 40 seconds left after receiving two technical fouls; he finished with 16 points, six rebounds, and two assists.

Golden State held on for a 104-96 victory, improving their record and showcasing the depth and adaptability that would be needed in Curry’s absence. The Warriors are now 11-10 for the season.

Golden State’s Jimmy Butler led the way with 24 points, ten assists, and eight rebounds, while Gary Payton II added 19 points and 11 rebounds, giving them each a double-double.

After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said this regarding the team’s early problems from deep: “If you take care of the ball, get shot on goal, it just sets the game up.. it didn’t feel that rhythmic, but it felt clean, we weren’t turning it over, the shots will start going in. We got a really good shooting team.”

Golden State held on for a 104-96 win and will now focus on its next game. The Warriors return home to face the Oklahoma City Thunder, the 2025 NBA Champions, on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at 8:00 PM on NBC/Peacock.

#2 The other big question for game 5 is will Stephen Curry be ready to return coming off that hamstring injury and how demanding will it be for him to win game 5 and get the Warriors at least with striking distance at the Timberwolves?

#3 Game 5 is up on Wednesday night in Minnesota. The Timberwolves have homecourt they have Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle who have had a great series although game 4 was close one more win by Minnesota could end Golden State’s season?

NBA Playoffs/Golden State Warriors podcast Mon May 12, 2025:

#1 Is age starting to creep up over experience. The Golden State Warriors just a few championship years back were younger and could back up the swagger. This post season the younger team the Minnesota Timberwolves have the edge as they got by the Warriors on Monday night in game four 117-110.

#2 The Timberwolves Anthony Edwards had 30 points for his second game in row scoring at least 30 points.

# 3 Julius Randle was also a tough customer to shut down scoring 31 points and leading the Timberwolves in scoring. Randle has been key in this series.

#4 It’s pretty evident without Curry in the line up the Warriors are missing his offense and that’s been the part that has been missing to get over the hump.

#5 Timberwolves take a 3-1 series lead back to Minnesota and with Edwards and Randle being that one two punch they could end this series at the Target Center in Minneapolis and get ready for the third round. The Warriors best chances is if they can get Curry back and he’s got to be lights out coming of that hamstring injury for game 5 on Wednesday night.
