“It was a cool atmosphere to play in, especially on top of my dad’s ceremony” he said. However, Lin was declared ready to go at shootaround yesterday.
Carolina Panthers fan Steph Curry is now 19-0 on the season and the Golden State Warriors look unstoppable, but even he admits that the winning streak has to end sometime.
Curry, the son of Dell, who retired as the Hornets’ all-time leading points-scorer, poured in a sensational 40 points, including 28 in the all-important third quarter which ultimately decided the outcome of the contest.
The Hornets (10-8) shot just 37.2 per cent from the field, including guard Kemba Walker’s woeful two of 16. However, thanks to some sloppy play resulting in four Warriors’ turnovers, the Hornets quickly responded with a 10-2 run.
Curry’s eight triples tonight put him at 102 on the season, which is the fastest in 20 games.
The Warriors shot 52.3 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from beyond the arc.
If his start through the first 20 games of this year is any indication, he’ll absolutely shatter that record well before the season is finished.
Earlier this season, the Clippers could only watch as their 23-point lead disappeared and turned into a loss at the hands of Golden State.
“The one thing that is disappointing, and that has to change is you can’t pick and choose when you’re going to be physical”, said Hornets coach Steve Clifford. “We’re not focusing on the actual streak, I think that’s why we’re able to keep racking up the wins”. He attended Carolina’s playoff game in Seattle last season and said he expects friend Cam Newton to be in attendance for Wednesday’s game against the Hornets. No other Warrior finished in double-figure scoring but Draymond Green had 11 rebounds and 9 assists. Spencer Hawes came off the bench and gathered six points off some really nice post moves. “It felt good to get one”, Bryant said. But, considering the level at which the Warriors have been playing thus far this year, we should know better than to count them out.
