Earlier, with the Heat down 91-90 with 7:41 to play, Spoelstra summoned Wade, Whiteside and forward Justice Winslow to return, as Curry remained on the Warriors bench. Curry finished with a game-high 42 points along with seven boards and seven dimes.
Curry gave Shawn Kennedy the sneakers he wore to warm up, signing them with the message “Keep being courageous”.
San Antonio kept up its dogged pursuit of Golden State by winning 108-92 at Sacramento.
“I was laughing, sure”.
“That’s a pretty outrageous number, I think”, Curry revealed before Wednesday’s game, according to NBA.com. You guys turn the ball over way too much. The Magic then pulled ahead 56-52 on a breakaway steal by Evan Fournier. “I’m not. It’s just what he does”.
That wasn’t his only highlight of the night.
“I don’t know that the record is that significant because it’s so simple for him”. “A 3-point shot is like a layup”. And it was genius in a way, because it’s just instilling the little things, like making the right pass, getting to a jump-stop, hitting your teammate on the chest so that he can get a nice rhythm into his jumper, and it just worked out perfectly. Curry started heating up as the quarter wound down, capping off the quarter with a half-court three that made the entire building erupt once again, only this time it was for a visiting player. “I emailed Steve and within an hour, half-an-hour, he emailed back and said ‘We’ve got you'”. “It would have to be kind of a fluke night”, Orlando coach Scott Skiles said.
TORONTO – DeMar DeRozan scored 31 points and Kyle Lowry added 21 as Toronto beat Minnesota for a franchise record-tying ninth straight home victory. “We did enough to win the ballgame, we just didn’t come out with it. If we can play the way we did tonight the rest of the season we will win most of those games”.
Cleveland scored 40 points in the second quarter to set up a 114-103 win against Charlotte.
In spite of this, Klay Thompson scored 15 straight points for the Warriors midway through the fourth quarter.
“It’s no secret what’s he’s going to do”. “It’s no surprise…. At the end of day, whatever we wanted to do with him, didn’t work”. Since then, they have recorded three road wins in a row over the Los Angeles Clippers, Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat. He runs. He stops. He causes you to relax, and you don’t have discipline, and he’s gone. “That happened at least a dozen times”. Backup point guard Toney Douglas scored 12 points in 14 minutes, with 10 points coming in the fourth quarter.
The Warriors have won 13 of their last 14 games and will be looking to build on last night’s 118-112 win at Miami. Less notably, Davis became the second youngest National Basketball Association player with 50 points and 20 rebounds, narrowly missing out on beating Bob McAdoo who did it in 1974.
