Last night's game with the Minnesota Timberwolves showcased both the inexperience and the promise of the Warriors' youth movement.

The Warriors relied on both the veteran presence of Stephen Jackson and the energy of young players such as Brandan Wright to defeat the Timberwolves 113-110 in Overtime at Oracle Arena, despite blowing a sizable third quarter lead.

Jackson led all scorers with 30 points, and also added 5 assists, while Kelenna Azubuike scored 22 and pulled down 8 rebounds. Andris Biedrins collected his 93,700th double-double in a row (ok, maybe not, but he does have one in all eight games so far this season) before fouling out for the third time this season.

Al Jefferson led the Wolves with 25 points and 12 rebounds.

Biedrins, Wright (who chipped in 13 points and 7 boards), and Azuibuke were particularly active on the offensive glass, each pulling down three offensive rebounds.
