Verizon Game Rewind | Warriors Sweep Mini-Series With T-Wolves - Jan. 27, 2021

After a Stephen Curry flurry sealed the team’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, it was Kelly Oubre Jr. and the Warriors’ bench that lifted the squad over the same Timberwolves team to win Wednesday’s game at Chase Center 123-111. In a very un-Stephen-Curry-like start, the Dubs’ two-time MVP went scoreless until there were 8.7 seconds left in the second quarter. And yet the Warriors entered halftime up 58-51 thanks to early scoring from James Wiseman and Kent Bazemore and a career quarter from Oubre. Bazemore entered the game early after Oubre sat with two quick fouls, and the veteran responded with seven points off the bench in the first quarter. “It’s all about staying ready,” he said at halftime. It was that preparation that served as a big momentum shift in a game where both teams struggled to make shots early, each starting the game 1-for-9 from the floor. Wiseman also came off the bench for the second straight game and responded equally as strong with eight first quarter points, including consecutive 3-pointers, and finishing the first half with 14. But fueling the first half for the Warriors was Oubre: After coming back in the game following his early foul trouble, he went off for a career-high 16 points in the second quarter on a perfect shooting half while adding four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block.
