“I always believe 3 is better than 2, ” Curry said with a smile after a recent game. “It was just kind of a low release”.
At 10-0, these Warriors now own the best start in their franchise’s history.
Curry led the way with 46 points and hit 8 of 13 from 3-point range, giving him 24 more 3-pointers than any player ever through the first 10 games of the season. “It looked like he was shooting it from dang near halfcourt”.
Goran Dragic finished with 14 points and Hassan Whiteside grabbed 14 rebounds for Miami, which started the game on a 9-0 run and opened the fourth quarter with a 13-4 spurt. This year has been completely different, as night after night, the Warriors punch opposing teams in the mouth from the jump.

Warriors interim coach Luke Walton added cheekily that Curry “was decenttonight”. Team officials said Turner is consulting with the medical staff about what to do next. The Celtics in 1957-58 and 1964-65 and the Bulls in 1996-97 are the other defending champs to start with at least 10 straight wins. All the young Wolves did was to go on a 18-2 run over the next 4:52 to cut the lead to five with 9:47 left in the game.
