Stop us if you’re surprised: Steph Curry put on a show Wednesday. Combined with four wins to close out last season, the Warriors now have a 24-game regular-season winning streak.

“It doesn’t even sound right”, Curry said.
Before that third quarter, there wasn’t much notable happening.
Midway through the third quarter Curry got rolling, launching deep three-pointers, several times turning and jogging back down court well before the ball even went through the net.
You also know that Steph Curry is the team’s biggest star and reigning league MVP. He was quick to give credit to his teammates though.
Curry said he promised his coach (Bob McKillop) he would complete his courses, and he said that he’ll get started on that when he can. “We kind of fed off that in the beginning”.
Klay Thompson added 21 points, scoring 15 of the Warriors’ 32 in the first quarter. Green struggled offensively, scoring just 4 points with 5 turnovers, but he finished with 11 boards and 9 dimes. The 7-foot-1, 245-pound Gobert is the centerpiece of the No. 3 defense in the National Basketball Association. “Just trying to get good shots”. I can’t ask for more.
With the Warriors up 21 points after that third quarter explosion, Curry sat out the remainder of the contest. The crowd was full of friends and family members who were able to watch him play. Andre Drummond hit a pair from the line with 14.3 seconds left to tie the game at 112.
Over in the East, George has come back better than ever after missing most of last season thanks to a broken leg. He’s led the upstart Pacers to a 12-5 start, with 16 of those 17 games coming in October and November. Nic Batum led the Hornets with 17 points and eight rebounds.
C OFFENSE: They shot poorly from both the field and 3-point range, as they adjust to playing without injured center Al Jefferson’s post presence.
It was Dell Curry Night in Charlotte, as the Hornets honored their all-time-leading scorer who played for them from 1988-98.
A special shoutout to Dell Curry for being honored by the team and the city for his 10 years of service for the team. He was the first player drafted by Charlotte in the 1988 NBA Expansion Draft. Spencer Hawes chipped in 12 points and five rebounds off the bench…

Said forward Marvin Williams, who scored six points and six rebounds against the Warriors: “We have to do a better job collectively rebounding”. Dell was the 1993-94 NBA Sixth Man of the Year.
