Warriors 3 Things: The Dubs' win over Minnesota showed why you can't yet write off this team

Was the basketball good?Not particularly.But Sunday's win was vital for the Warriors, and in that 109-104 victory over the Timberwolves, the Dubs showed something that is just as important as good execution: scrappiness.The Warriors don't have anything close to their full coterie of stars, and they predictably fell behind the Timberwolves by double digits to start the first and second halves.
