The Golden State Warriors' hopes of setting the NBA's best ever regular season record has taken a major hit after falling to a 124-117 overtime loss to the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Warriors (69-9) now need to win their last four games to eclipse the 72-10 record set by the 1995/96 Chicago Bulls team featuring Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
The loss was only Golden State's second at home this season after last week's loss to the Celtics broke a 54-game home streak.
Leading Rookie of the Year candidate Karl-Anthony Towns was the hero for the visitors, dropping 20 points including a number of clutch baskets down the stretch, and grabbing 12 rebounds.
Timberwolves small forward Shabazz Muhammad led all scorers with a career-high 35 points while Andrew Wiggins scored 32.
Warriors star Stephen Curry struggled with his shot, scoring 21 on 7-25 shooting while backcourt teammate Klay Thompson had a team-high 28.
The Warriors last four games include home and away clashes against the Memphis Grizzlies and the San Antonio Spurs.
