Golden State needed the free throws. After Stephen Curry's long-range shooting helped build the lead, Minnesota kept cutting into it, right down to Ayo Dosunmu's late three. Curry finished the job at the line.

The NBA's Warriors-Timberwolves highlights drew roughly 1.8 million views in their first day, far beyond the league channel's usual audience for a regular video. The package follows a Curry scoring run that gathers pace in the second quarter and continues through contact after halftime.

"Curry a deep three, but you cannot give him any air space!" Kevin Calabro calls as another attempt goes up. Curry finishes with 44 points, but this isn't a highlights reel with only one Golden State scorer worth watching. Yaxel Lendeborg supplies inside baskets and perimeter shooting, giving the Warriors another route to points.

That partnership is also what viewers are discussing. Some reach back to Curry's 2016 season for a comparison; others make rookie-of-the-year predictions for Lendeborg. One describes Lendeborg as a reason to keep watching even after Curry eventually retires. The comment section was nearly eight times busier than the channel's usual first day.

The Lakers-Clippers and Thunder-Mavericks highlights also drew unusually large audiences on the NBA channel. Here, though, the closing stretch belongs to Minnesota's attempt to erase the gap: Bones Hyland supplies bench scoring, Jonathan Kuminga hits from deep, and Dosunmu keeps Golden State working until the final possessions.
