The 3 Biggest Stats That Decided These Games
1. Shooting from the Field (FG%)
Minnesota shot 46.9% from the field across all 10 games. That’s solid. But look at the wins vs. the losses:
- In their 4 wins from May 2025, MIN shot 50.6%, 43.9%, 49.4%, and 62.8%. That last one — Game 4 of the playoff series on May 14 — was their best shooting night by far.
- In their 3 losses, MIN shot 41.9%, 44.2%, and just 39.5%. Cold shooting = losses. Simple as that.
2. Three-Point Shooting
MIN made 13.2 threes per game on average. But the worst loss — May 6, 2025 — they hit just 5 of 29 from three. That’s 17.2%. Brutal.
The best win — May 14 — they hit 13 of 31 (41.9%) and won by 11.
Three-point shooting swings these matchups hard.
3. Turnovers
This one is big. Minnesota had games with 26 turnovers (Jan 25, 2026 — a 26-point loss) and 21 turnovers in some of their wins too. But in the win where they scored 127 points (Dec 12, 2025), they only had 11 turnovers. Taking care of the ball matters a lot in this series.

2025–26 Season Context: Where Both Teams Stand?
After their last 10 matchups, here’s where things are in the bigger picture.
Minnesota Timberwolves (2025–26 Season)
- Record: 40-26 (6th in the West)
- PPG Leader: Anthony Edwards — 29.4 points per game
- RPG Leader: Rudy Gobert — 11.3 rebounds per game
- APG Leader: Julius Randle — 5.2 assists per game
- Offensive Rating: 117.3 (10th in NBA)
- Defensive Rating: 113.9 (11th in NBA)
Golden State Warriors (2025–26 Season)
- Record: 32-33 (9th in the West)
- Sitting outside the top 8 — in the play-in zone
- Still dangerous with their shooting and pace, but not the same force they were
The gap is real. Minnesota is a playoff team. The Warriors are fighting just to stay in.
What Makes the Timberwolves Hard to Beat in This Matchup?
You might wonder — why does MIN have a 6-4 edge? Here’s what the stats show:
- Defense. MIN averages 5.4 blocks and 7.6 steals per game in this matchup. That’s elite rim protection and perimeter pressure.
- Rebounding. 43.7 boards per game. Gobert makes Golden State work hard for second chances.
- Free throws won. MIN gets to the line 22.7 times per game on average. That adds up.
- They can get hot. When MIN shoots above 50% from the field, they’re almost impossible to beat in this series.
What Makes Golden State Dangerous in This Matchup?
The Warriors won 4 of these 10 games. Here’s how they did it:
- Ball movement. Golden State can create open looks fast. When MIN turns the ball over (like the 26-TOV blowout loss), the Warriors punish.
- Three-point shooting. Golden State lives and dies by the arc. On their best nights, they out-shoot Minnesota from deep.
- Experience. Even a 32-33 team with playoff DNA knows how to close games.
Anthony Edwards: The X-Factor in This Rivalry
Edwards is MIN’s top scorer this season at 29.4 PPG — third in the entire NBA.
In the 2024–25 playoff run against Golden State, he was the engine. When he’s locked in — and the team is moving the ball (33+ assists in a game is a sign) — Minnesota wins.
When he’s off or MIN is iso-heavy, Golden State finds ways to steal games.

| Jan 26, 2026 | 45.7% | 40.0% | 76.9% | W |
Pattern: When MIN shoots 44%+ from the field, they have a great chance to win. When they drop below 42%, they lose.
What Does the 2025–26 Season Mean for This Rivalry?
Minnesota beat the Nuggets in round one of the 2025–26 playoffs (4-2) but fell to the San Antonio Spurs in round two (2-4). The Warriors didn’t make the playoffs.
The rivalry keeps its edge. Edwards is still young. Golden State is in a shift. These two teams will keep meeting — and the numbers say Minnesota has the upper hand right now.

Conclusion
The last 10 games between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves show a clear shift in momentum toward Minnesota, who have been more consistent in scoring, rebounding, and defensive impact. While the Warriors still rely on their three-point shooting and fast-paced offense to stay competitive, their inconsistency and turnover issues have cost them crucial games. On the other hand, the Timberwolves have proven that when they control the glass, shoot efficiently, and limit mistakes, they are the stronger side in this matchup. As both teams continue evolving in the 2025–26 season, this rivalry remains highly competitive, but recent numbers suggest Minnesota currently holds the upper hand.
