He adds so much to our team, even being on the plane and just joking around.

Curry hit a 3 for the Warriors’ lone lead of the first three quarters before things quickly turned sour for their star shooter.
As the 2015-16 season enters its fourth week and all teams having played at least 11 games, it is a good time to look at how they are doing so far.
The Warriors overcame their most daunting obstacle yet yesterday by rallying from a 23-point deficit to beat the rival Clippers in Los Angeles.
From there, holding a three-point advantage with 1:08 remaining, it was simply a matter of hitting free throws. He scored 18 points on 7-for-7 shooting and dished out four assists in the first eight minutes. Iguodala led the team with a +19 in the fourth quarter.
“We had early foul trouble with Steph (Curry) and Draymond (Green) that obviously hurt, but when they were on the bench, they were cheering for the guys that were in”.
The Warriors didn’t really care what happened in the game. He also sparked the Warriors by scoring 15 points in the third quarter, including making a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from the left corner. G Shaun Livingston sat out with a strained left hip flexor…. Now they can tie and break the mark against two losing clubs, the Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Warriors mounted a comeback that took all off 44 minutes to complete, winning rather easily by seven points. The 7-3 Latvian is averaging 12.8 points – including 29 in his last game – and 8.6 rebounds per game. The visitors assisted on 31 of 38 field goals. Paul returned after missing two games with a groin injury he suffered on November 4 against the Warriors at Oracle Arena. Forward Blake Griffin finished with 27 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Clippers, who have lost four in a row to the Warriors.
“The recipe against the Clippers is you can’t give them easy points”, said Curry, who committed seven turnovers. According to ESPN, since the start of the 2014 season, the Warriors have trailed by 20 six times. They’re two wins away from tying the best start to a National Basketball Association season in the league’s history. The other was the 1957-58 Boston Celtics.
They notched their 26th straight regular-season home win – a run stretching back to a loss to the Bulls last January 27. It takes 48 minutes of being great on both ends of the floor to beat them, and it seems the Clippers, and maybe no one else in the league right now, has what it takes to follow through on the right gameplan against a team that seems flawless right now, even if they’re finding it more and more hard to stay that way. The Clippers later admitted to picking their poison by funneling the ball to Iguodala, and he made them pay.

The Bulls are a strong enough defensive team to pose problems to Golden State, and expect Butler to give Curry a few problems.
