Game Notes
- One of the Timberwolves’ biggest issues has been defense. They’re 27th in defensive rating and are allowing 47.4-percent shooting from the field, worse than every team except the Lakers. After a dreadful shooting night in Memphis, Stephen Curry and Thompson will have opportunities to bounce back. — Monte Poole, CSN Bay Area
- Minnesota’s current 1-7 swoon began with its loss at Golden State on Nov. 27 — SportsDirect Inc. staff, WFMZ
