MINNEAPOLIS, April 7 (UPI) -- Anthony Tolliver's 34 points Wednesday boosted Golden State to a 116-107 win over Minnesota, making Coach Don Nelson the all-time NBA leader in victories.

The 34 points were a career high for Tolliver, who made 14-of-22 shots from the field and led a 56-percent shooting effort by the Warriors.

Nelson has 1,333 career victories, one more than Lenny Wilkens.

Rookie Stephen Curry had 27 points with 14 assists and eight rebounds to help Golden State win for the third time in four games. It was only the seventh road win of the season for the Warriors.

Minnesota, which has dropped three straight and 19-of-20, got 19 points each from Ryan Gomes and Jonny Flynn.

The Warriors broke the game open with a 16-6 run in the third period that gave them a 21-point lead. Golden State swept the three-game series from Minnesota, the first time that has happened in 18 years.
