    MINNEAPOLIS — D'Angelo Russell scored 14 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter, Anthony Edwards took over in overtime after Russell fouled out and the Minnesota Timberwolves outlasted the Golden State Warriors, 119-114, on Wednesday night (Thursday, Manila time).

    Russell fouled out after two quick whistles in the first minute of overtime. That set the stage for Edwards.

    After a scoreless fourth quarter, Edwards was aggressive in overtime, driving to the basket and scoring in traffic on multiple possessions. Edwards helped the Timberwolves — who trailed by 11 after three — complete the comeback. He scored just four of his 27 points in overtime but was the catalyst on offense in the extra session.

    Stephen Curry had 29 points and 10 rebounds for Golden State. Jordan Poole added 18 points, and Draymond Green had 10 points and 12 rebounds. The Warriors had won three in a row.

    Curry had a good look at with five seconds to play in regulation, but missed. Minnesota couldn't get a good shot off at the buzzer, sending the game to overtime.

    With Russell watching from the bench, Edwards hit a big shot in the lane to put Minnesota up 115-112 with 1:43 left. Naz Reid, who had 24 points for Minnesota, closed out the victory with an emphatic dunk in the final seconds.
