Dell Curry, the Charlotte Hornets’ all-time leading scorer, will be honored Wednesday night during the Golden State-Charlotte game. “Good rebounding night for them”. Former Sun Leandro Barbosa was a flawless 5-of-5 from beyond the arc. “We’ll try to figure out who those five best defenders are and those will be the guys who are going to be out there for us because putting up all of those points – and I’m not just saying this about T.J., just any of our guys – we don’t care about the points, we’ve got to get stops and the points will come”.
Anthony Davis had another huge outing for the New Orleans Pelicans but it wasn’t enough to overcome a team effort by the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City.
As for individual goals, Mr. Curry said being part of the US Olympic team that will see action in next year’s Summer Games in Rio, Brazil, is an opportunity that he is excited and looking forward to. We are okay playing like that for a little bit. “But we need a lot more from him than we got tonight”.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry arrives before an National Basketball Association… Klay Thompson added 20, including four 3-point baskets.
Rodney Hood missed a 3-pointer with five seconds remaining with the Jazz trailing 104-103.
The game was much slower than the Warriors typically like to play.
A pair of Favors free throws tied it at 101.
Bucks 92, Nuggets 74: Greg Monroe scored 18 points, and Milwaukee forced 24 turnovers that led to 35 points in handing Denver its seventh consecutive loss.
Green contributed 14 points 10 rebounds and 10 assists in Friday’s 135-116 win at Phoenix. Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight combined for 28 points. He followed that up 33 seconds later with a jumper that pushed the lead to three. The Warriors finally snapped their offensive funk when Bogut found a cutting Andre Iguodala for a wide-open dunk.
The three-point record could well have fallen had Curry not sat out the fourth quarter.
Utah’s trio of Favors, Hayward and Burks kept the Jazz in the game-and very almost won it. He had been one rebound short when he was subbed out by Walton 79 seconds earlier. When we have a close game, we’re not surprised.
Afterward, Walton said, “Once their crowd got into it, they had their confidence going”. “He’s such an unselfish player and work so hard”. “They don’t shy away from it, and it’s not just Steph”.
Green finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Gordon Hayward leads in points with 17.7 per game. Curry added eight assists, six rebounds and two steals. Where the Warriors can’t lose (even when they’re down 23 points) and setting team records here and there, the Philadelphia 76ers can’t win despite strong performances and are going down in infamy. The Warriors led 44-27 after their highest-scoring first quarter since March 25, 2011. The Warriors made 15 of 20 3s in the first half. He also believes Golden State could go through all of December and January undefeated, which would put the Warriors at a robust 48-0 entering the month of February. He started Monday night’s game after scoring 16 points in a win over Sacramento when he also started in place of the injured Barnes on Monday and ended up with three points in 12 minutes. The “Black Falcon” was diagnosed with a sprained left ankle. ESPN’s Ethan Sherwood Strauss reported that no timetable has been given.
