🔮 … “Maybe he sensed it.
🔮 Hosting the Suns, again coming off a game the previous night, Golden State set things up to make sure its two veteran stars would be available for the rematch.
🔮 Austin Reaves got to the foul line on the Lakers’ first possession of the second quarter, extending their advantage to 25 points, 40-15, and that’s as wide as it would get.
🔮 Will Richard freed up Curry with a hard screen of Matisse Thybulle about four minutes into the fourth quarter, Curry received a pass from Draymond Green and buried a wide-open triple. The bucket was Curry’s eighth 3-pointer of the night and was good for his 25th, 26th and 27th points.
🔮 So, you could say they’re making progress, at least.
🔮 Curry finished with 44, and the Warriors needed every last one of them to hold off the Timberwolves, despite Golden State pulling ahead by 24 after halftime and Minnesota playing its first game since Anthony Edwards learned he would require knee surgery.
🔮 It appeared that a game that began without Edwards could end with Curry sitting on the bench, comfortably resting after building a big lead.
🔮 For most 49ers players, the bye week will give them some much-needed rest and relaxation.
🔮 Some 24 hours later, though, Shanahan had no update to deliver when asked if Pineiro’s struggles would lead San Francisco to try out other kickers over its bye week.
🔮 Nine different Falcons caught passes from Penix, who operated at will under little duress from the Niners’ defensive line, allowing his receivers to get open.
