tuesday. wednesday and thrsday storms with strong wind and heavier rain will rank two on the storm impact scale giving way to just another rainy da with showers. and maybe some lingering showers into saturday. the entire week looks pretty wet. given the warriors injury woes are starting to look like the ws will start to settle for the two seed in the west. try to avoid back-to-back losses for just the second time this year. but this was almost a scheduled loss. down by ten after one. klay thompson with a bruised thumb and all. he had 21. draymond green, 7 assists. zsa z zaza pachulia. kevin durant is going to have to carry the offense with steph and others out. look out draymond, sneaking in behind. the t'wolves would take control.

jamal crawford. i think he takes the same vitamins spencer does. 40 years young and still scoring at will. durant, most shots he's taken as a warrior. sean livingston there for the putback. 11 for 42 for k.d. on the day. this makes it a one-point game with just over two minutes left. carl anthony townes, the big cat. fade, fire. the warriors lose 109-103. they fall a game and a half behind first place. here's mikumann in minnesota with reaction. >> i think the schedule and injuries finally caught up with the warriors. three games in four nights with a back-to-back and five injured players and that equaled a loss here in minnesota. >> we played some good teams. you know, obviously, the easy answer to point to is we're men down right now. but we're battling, we're competing. i think that's the fight that we kind of need going into the

playoffs. i like where we're at. >> it is what it is. this is our job. this is what we're expected to do every night. whatever duty calls, guys have to come in and play a few minutes, got to do it. nobody is complaining in the locker room screaming for guys to get back. we want those guys to be healthy and 100% healthy when they come back. >> we didn't make open shots. there's a reason for that. we're a little fatigued. we've been playing our top guys some pretty heavy minutes lately with all the injuries we had. maybe it caught up to us. but the schedule evens out now. we go home and we have a couple days before our next game. >> we'll take moral victories. we expect to play more no matter who we have on the floor. we lost, we move on and try to win the next one. >> swaggy p and dray mond both with back spasms. reporting in minnesota, mike shumann, abc 7 sports.

this was selection sunday in the ncaa. st. mary's did not make the field. the gaels, the strength of schedule hurt them. the pac-12 got three teams in, arizona, asu and ucla. usc got snubbed. tiger woods has not won a tournament in a long time. we're talking about 2013. he had a chance to end that today at the valspar championship in florida. paul casey is another guy who cme out of nowhere and hasn't won in a long time. was in the clubhouse tied for the lead. as for tiger, two back on 17. this is a long birdie putt from about 50 feet away. look at the roll. got it. 9 under, one shot back. patrick reed, the co-leader needed a two-putt to force a playoff. oh, no, coming back down to him.

bogey takes him out of the hunt. so tiger needed another long bird on 18. a difficult uphill putt. hard to read. and he comes up short and wide. so paul casey wins the valspar championship worth $1.2 million. just to finish our thoughts on the warriors because they're so beaten up with injuries. the schedule is favorable. lakers, kings and suns this week. and the question is when do you bring back steph curry? probably rest him for a few games because you don't want that ankle to get aggravated again. the playoffs are more important than the one seed. we'll see what steve kerr decides. >> i like your strategy. still ahead, a new box office contender made history this week. you have to take a first step to take a stand. >> it's the job of everyone here to share your story, to tell the truth, help you understand the
