Stephen Curry had a game-high 24 points and nine rebounds to pace the Golden State Warriors to a 100-77 home victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday.
Kevin Love recorded 12 rebounds and six points to end his streak of double-doubles at 53 games. Love struggled from the floor, making good on just 1 of 6 attempts.
Monta Ellis and Dorell Wright had 16 points apiece to lift the Warriors (30-36) to victory. Golden State, which returned home from a 2-5 road trip, has now defeated Minnesota in three of four contests this season.
The Warriors held a slim five-point (49-44) advantage at the half before building a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter and cruised from there.
Michael Beasley had 16 points and Martell Webster came off the bench to do the same for the Timberwolves (17-50), who failed in their bid for their first three-game winning streak since Jan. 29-Feb. 6, 2010.
Luke Ridnour added 13 points for Minnesota, which fell in the first game of a stretch in which it is playing five of its next six on the road.
