"MINNEAPOLIS Almost nothing felt normal inside or outside Target Center in downtown Minneapolis when the Warriors faced the Timberwolves on Sunday afternoon for the first game of a back-to-back set. The schedule itself had been changed, with the game moved back 24 hours after a federal immigration agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, causing both anguish in the city and concern in the Timberwolves organization over possible security concerns."
"In his first game back in Minnesota since a hamstring injury took him out of the Warriors' playoff series against the Wolves last spring, Golden State's lead guard provided a glimpse of what could have been by scoring 26 points. Really, the difference was that Steph was healthy, Moses Moody said. Right now we're just playing hard and figuring everything out. We're adjusting and it's different, but stuff usually goes your way when you leave it all out there on the floor."
The Target Center game was moved back 24 hours after a federal immigration agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, creating anguish, security concerns, and a somber mood. A moment of silence was interrupted by calls for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to leave the city, and thousands of protesters gathered outside in temperatures barely above zero. The Warriors defeated the Timberwolves 111-85 while the crowd and arena felt anything but ordinary. Steph Curry returned from a hamstring injury to score 26 points, passed John Havlicek on the all-time scoring list, and tied Paul Pierce at 26,397 points. Jimmy Butler is out for the season after tearing his ACL.
