The Warriors' good start to the 2024-2025 season has come down a bit. With a December where the Warriors have not won two games in a row so far, something they have not done since November 20 and 22, and where they have lost 7 of the last 10 games, at least having beaten the Timberwolves on Saturday 113-110 will give them a boost for the interesting duel on Monday against the Pacers.

Curry led his team once again with 31 points. At a key moment where his team was squandering a 21-point lead, Curry with three three-pointers and a pair of free throws in less than 90 seconds of action gave another important advantage to the Warriors who would not end up losing. On Thursday, the Warriors had been beaten by the Grizzlies who made an incredible amount of 27 three-pointers, but the Golden State team corrected their defense in a matter of 48 hours, only allowing 14 to Minnesota.

The Pacers, meanwhile, are on an upward trajectory, earning their fourth straight win, something they had not accomplished before this season. The fourth was a 122-95 victory over the Kings at Golden 1 Center. They built a game-high 30-point lead in Sacramento on Sunday and will play on Monday without rest, a situation in which they have a 1-3 record this season.
