MINNEAPOLIS -- Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry watched from the bench as his team took blow after blow from the Minnesota Timberwolves in the fourth quarter of their eventual 114-110 loss on Sunday night.
He was ready -- he was expecting -- to come back in. But he remained on the bench for 11 straight minutes.
After being subbed out of the game with four minutes left in the third quarter, Curry didn't re-enter until just over six minutes left in the fourth. He gave them a push, but the damage was already done.
