Even without injured Kevin Durant, the defending champions are looking like their dominant old selves.

Klay Thompson scored 28 points with six three-pointers, Stephen Curry had 22 points, eight assists and eight rebounds, and the Golden State Warriors routed the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves 125-101 on Wednesday night for their fifth straight win.

Draymond Green posted another all-round balanced performance with seven points, six rebounds, six assists and two blocks for the Warriors, who played without NBA Finals MVP Durant as he nursed a bruised left thigh. Andre Iguodala started in place of Durant, and the 2015 Finals MVP scored a season-high 11 points.
