Stephen Curry made a strong comeback from a five-game absence, scoring 39 points in a narrow loss to the Timberwolves on Friday. The Golden State guard displayed his typical long-range prowess, hitting six three-pointers, while also contributing five rebounds and five assists. Despite missing a free throw that could have pushed him to 40 points, Curry’s performance was a reminder of his scoring capabilities as the Warriors prepare for their next matchup against the Trail Blazers.
