“It doesn’t even sound right, to be honest”.

Curry was on hand for Davidson’s game against Charlotte on Tuesday and he watched as Wildcats’ star Jack Gibbs erupted to score 41 points.
Houston Rockets 108, New Orleans Pelicans 101: James Harden scored 24 points, Dwight Howard grabbed 16 rebounds and the host Rockets (8-11) rallied from an early 14-point deficit to beat the Pelicans (4-15) led by Anthony Davis’ 29-point, 13 rebound effort.
“So I can’t ask for more, to play like I did and get the win on top of my dad’s ceremony”. Then he missed his next six shots before regaining his rhythm in the fourth quarter, each made shot drawing a louder roar from an even mix of Wizards and Lakers fans.
That was the case Wednesday in Charlotte, not that the Hornets’ crowd was about to turn on a team led by Curry, born in Akron but raised on Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning.
Regardless of how far Golden State goes in the playoffs this season, he’ll spend the rest of the summer at Team USA training camp as they prepare for a run at a gold medal in the Rio Summer Olympics.
To be compared to Curry in play-style would be an honor as well, because Curry is doing extraordinary things for the Warriors this season.
Bryant’s field goal from 16 feet capped a season-high 31-point performance and helped snap the Lakers’ seven game losing skid.
“It’s getting surreal, for sure”, Curry said.
“When he’s feeling it and shoots the ball, he’s already running to the other end of the court”, Warriors interim coach Luke Walton said.
Walker was clearly frustrated, thinking the Hornets finally got a stop, only to realize their best player was wide open for one of the most efficient shots in basketball. I was able to make some good shots.
Indiana Pacers forward Paul George was named the Eastern Conference player of the month for games played in October and November. The 76ers played without rookie Jahlil Okafor, their leading scorer, who was suspended after the release of a second video provided details of his fight in Boston he hadn’t revealed to them. In those 19 games, he averaged 31.6 points, 6.0 assists and 5.2 rebounds while shooting 51.2 percent overall, 44.5 percent from three and 94.1 percent from the free throw line.

After that, it was back to business for the young Curry as he went on a tear and scored 28 points including 5 triples in the third quarter, an explosion that turned the game into a blowout.
