MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves don’t appear to have much left in the tank.

Golden State’s Charles Jenkins is just getting warmed up.

David Lee had 31 points and eight rebounds, and Jenkins scored seven of Golden State’s final nine points to help the Warriors rally from a 20-point deficit to top the reeling Timberwolves 97-94 on Wednesday night.

Jenkins finished with 19 points and seven assists and Richard Jefferson scored 13 of 5-of-7 shooting for the Warriors, who snapped a six-game losing streak. They trailed by 20 with less than two minutes to play in the first half, but outscored Minnesota 40-19 over the next eight minutes of game time.

The Warriors led by 10 with seven minutes to play, but the Wolves tied it with 90 seconds to go. Then Jenkins, a virtually unknown rookie second-round draft pick from Hofstra, scored on a driving layup with 20 seconds to go to put the Warriors up for good.

“I’ve always practiced those situations as a kid,” Jenkins said. “I think every kid practices the five-four-three-two-one or taking the big shot.”

Jenkins has started five of the past six games with star guard Stephen Curry out because of another ankle injury, and he’s responded in a major way. He had 27 points and six assists against Portland on March 25, then 18 points and 12 assists against the Nets on March 30.

He went 8 of 13 from the field on Wednesday, getting to the rim at will against the Wolves.

“I continue to be pleased. I’m not surprised because he’s a gamer,” Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. “He’s a guy that works his tail off, competes, defends, not afraid to get into the paint area, made plays and was one of the best players on the floor tonight.”

Love had 29 points and 12 rebounds and Wayne Ellington scored 10 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter for the Timberwolves, who have lost four in a row and five of their past six to fall out of playoff contention.

J.J. Barea had 15 points and eight assists in his return from a six-game absence due to a bruised thigh. But he also committed seven of Minnesota’s 19 turnovers.

“We deserved every boo we got,” Love said.
